Is anyone doing any work with text-to-speech or voice recognition in  
the languages they teach?  More as an accessibility feature, for  
students who have little to no vision or who have physical  
disabilities that make typing or writing difficult.  What software do  
you use?  What languages are supported?

I know that Dragon Naturally Speaking has language partners for some  
languages, but these seem to be full localizations and not multi- 
lingual versions.  There also seems to be some promising software  
from www.assistiveware.com for the Mac platform.  Are there any other  
suggestions?

Please feel free to send to me and I will post a summary to the list.
