WEB SURFING BY PHONE
NetPhonic Communications' Web-On-Call Voice Browser allows users to phone
into Web pages rather than use a PC.  The system uses voice-recognition
technology to dial into a Web site named by the user, and then reads back the
text of the Web page. The product is marketed toward people on the go who
don't have time to sit at their PCs and surf the Web, but could also be
useful for the visually impaired. One drawback -- the NetPhonic software
requires a high-end Sun Microsystems workstation to function.  (Investor's
