The latest PC Magazine (Dec 20, 1994) has an article which describes all 
three of the main speech recognition systems (dictation-type) including 
IBM VoiceType, DragonDictate for Windows and Kurzweil Voice.

By the way, you can call Dragon Systems at 1-800-TALK-TYP for more 
information on what I believe to be the best system on the market 
(although I am biased).
