Speech-to-text conversion progams are fairly common, though they are
probably pretty expensive and need to be calibrated to the individual
user. But lots of people who have lost the use of their hands/fingers to
type use speech-to-text converters to write books, term papers, etc.

Then of course there's Stephen Hawking, who writes books with his
handy eye-blink-to-text converter.

Now here's a damn silly idea: Get a speech-to-text converter, go on ircm
and have the person on the other end using a text-to-speech converter.

*ouch!* ..sorry.
