What I found out yesterday is that Dragon Dictate and other Dragon
System products employ software only solutions to speech recognition.
They can use a PCMCIA card for digitization.  No PCMCIA card I was able
to uncover did any form of digital signal processing for speech
recognition (other than analog to digital conversion).  That is, there
does not seem to be a plug in PCMCIA card that recognizes speech.

BTW, I would really like my findings to be false. If anyone knows
better, please tell me.
