There's some interesting work that's been done at the University of Dundee by Alan Newell and his colleagues on *simulating* the use of a speech driven word processor (they had someone with a Palantype keyboard -- one of those kbd devices used in court reporting that allows real time transcription -- type what the user said, and then the machine would handle that input). I believe they got quite interesting results -- like it's not at all clear how you could get the interface to such a system to work particularly well. I'm awaiting a paper from Alan on this work -- I'll summarise briefly when it arrives if there's any interest.
