     Hi there!  It has long been my desire to write an intelligent voice-
recognition system for a PC, not one of these that simply samples whole
words and compares them with their preset patterns, but one that actually
parses the words into syllables and fits them to a definable language
grammar, like a computer language works.
     I would like it to be able to do voice ID as well as respond to words
by anyone.  As far as I know, this product does not currently exist for a PC,
but someone someday will write it, so it might as well be me! :)
     Anyway, I would like info on books or other references which could tell
me about taking an audio sample and making a frequency spectrum analyzer in
the 1-3kHz range, as this would be my first step.
     In addition, I would like to know about any other books or info on
voice/speech recognition in general, as well as what programs currently exist
for the PC.  Thanks for any help!!
                       - Matt
