}- Anybody have experience with any of the above mentioned products? Comments?

I did some work with the SSI box about a year ago.  At that time, what it
recognized were "utterances".  An utterance could be a word, a phrase, a
sentence or almost anything.  What it couldn't do was pick individual
words out of a multiple word utterance.  It could only recognize
utterances that were in it's library of utterances.  If the sentence "I
see a blue box." was in it's library it would recognize it as
"Iseeabluebox".  If you gave it "I see a red box.", it wouldn't recognize
the phrase or, worse, might decide you'd come close enough to "I see a
blue box." to recognize it as such. (You could put things in the library
like "I see a [blue | red] box.", but that was just a notational
convenience).

I don't know what developments or improvements SSI has made in the past
year, but I assume there've been some, so the above may no longer apply.
