I feel your pain.

Nice. Any job prospects for the java god? *wink*

Would be very neat indeed. Voice is a tricky thing though. Not sure about
sphinx..One of my ex-professors was a digital signal guy at Westinghouse
for many many years. I could ask him about voice recognition stuff. He was
helping a group of undergrads with a project at one time..something about
people singing into their computer, and having it show the notes and pitch
they were singing show up on the screen in real-time. They did it all in
java, using some opensource FFT libs. pretty cool stuff actually.

:P
