Well guys, since I own the CD set containing the past issues of circuit cellar, I got to thinking maybe I have the article in question. I went online to search the TOC. http://www.circuitcellar.com/products/cdset-toc.asp ISSUE 33 April 1993: Steve’s Own INK—Voice Recognition and Professional Reinvestment, by Steve Ciarcia, 96. ISSUE 91 February 1998: Low-Cost Voice Recognition, by Brad Stewart, 12. ISSUE 115 February 2000: Save Your Voice—A Digital Sound Board, by DuanePerkins , 40. If any of these would be useful, let me know. Currently the CDs are on loan to a friend of mine, but I should be able to reference them as needed.

I've always wanted to track down that article and build one of those cards and maybe expand on it. Ralph Glatt wrote: Jeff, if you ever do find a copy of that article, could you send me a copy? It would come in handy with my robot project. Thanks!!
