Talking Technologies worked on this with Paul Amery at Compouter Services in
the University of Stirling. Sorry I don't have his number at hand, but the
main uni number would surely be OK. He's done a LOT of work with Kurzweil
and diabilities, and has jusr returned from a successful lecture programme
in the US.
