I talked to a handicapped engineer at the Palo Alto VA about voice
interfaces with mobile wheelchair -he warned me that the verbal  
bandwidth was too slow for real time control of a wheelchair, also
the mistaken words could result in disaster-dumping the patient.
I think his name was Jaffe.  You saw the thing in the papers about
Apple making a voice recognition computer I guess.
