Indeed, however it has a few drawbacks. As far as I noticed, it only 
works with IBM ViaVoice, which is proprietary technology. The code is 
also only available for non-commercial use, and not true open source.

However, I intend to get it set up and have a play. Maybe some ideas 
could be taken from it and contributed to orca.

I saw this a couple of days, but since it has such restrictions, I 
didn't think of mentioning it.
