Two leaders in speech recognition, IBM and Belgian speech technology giant
Lernout & Hauspie, have each built speech-enabled prototypes of handheld
devices that could be commercially available as early as next year.  

Both recently showed off palm-size devices that perform speech-to-text
transcriptions, have voice-controlled personal digital assistants, and can
respond to questions with a computer-synthesized voice. IBM and L&H also plan
to connect their devices to competing wireless networks.

A Stylus With Ears 

L&H is building an all-in-one device with an Intel 206-MHz StrongARM
processor, 64MB of flash RAM, and a stylus that doubles as a microphone. It
says the PDA can recognize 25,000 words, letting you dictate e-mails and
navigate and update your personal information manager's calendar with voice
commands.
