"MS Voice provides speaker-independent voice command for any Windows 95
application. With MS Voice, you can tell your PC to dial a person's
number by just speaking that person's name. In addition, with MS Voice's
text-to-speech support, you can have your computer read you e-mail
messages to you even if you're checking messages remotely."
However... it's currently available only through OEMs.
