Both Dragon Systems from Kurzweil and IBM's system are getting rave
reviews from the columnists. I think we may be just one software
generation away from this being a real thing. I bet a Pentium II with
64 MB of RAM is more than enough processing power.

Kurzweil seems like an obvious Microsoft buyout candidate in the next 12
months.
