Some IBM acronyms:

ICSS : IBM Continuous Speech Series

	The name of IBM's continuous, speaker-independent speech 
	recognition system.  This system allows developer's to integrate
	speech recognition technology into their applications by using
	the ICSS API to communicate with the speech recognition engine.
	Developer's pre-define the words and phrases that the application
	will allow the user to speak.  This system allows users to walk up
	and use the system immediately - there is no training required.

IPDS : IBM Personal Dictation System

	The name of IBM's discrete, speaker-trained dictation speech
	recognition system.  This system allows users to dictate free-
	form speech into a text window and paste it into popular applications
	like word-processors.  This system, though requires a user to
	train their voice to the system, allows the user to dictate
	freely within the context of the active language model, i.e.
	journalism, radiology, law, general office correspondence, etc.

Enjoy!
