The IBM Personal Dictation System can be used for both Command-and-Control
and Speech-to-Text.   This is an OS/2 based application, capable of speaker-dependent, isolated-word
speech recognition at up to 70 words/minute.  Dictated text can be cut and pasted into other OS/2, Windows, or
DOS apps running under OS/2.  

Hope this helps,

Tony
