Speech recognition as a way of inputting text has gained substantial
popularity in the market place. There are several companies that are
making software of this kind, such as IBM ViaVoice, L & H and Dragon.
However, compared with pictographic languages, inputting by keyboard
is relatively easier for alphabetic languages, such as English. In
other words, speech recognition as a means of inputting probably has
profound impact in the market where pictographic languages are
dominant, such as in China.

Using IBM's Chinese ViaVoice 4.2 as the testing software, this event
will allow the audience to determine by themselves whether the
Chinese speech recognition software meets users' expectation.
