“IBM tomorrow will completely revamp its voice-recognition
technology strategy, focusing more on delivering core technologies

wearable PCs, that demand voice-recognition capabilities. IBM is

in-vehicle Web appliances.”

…Supporting its continued thrust into Linux, IBM later
this month will begin selling ViaVoice Dictation for Linux, which
will sell for about $60 retail.
