hi, if the speech could be incorporated into a mobile, then fine. but it would seem like a lot of fiddle and fuss (possibly even expense) just to put in a 4 digit pin code to do your weekly shopping! smile. now if it could be developed to cover other, currently inaccessible/awkward facilities, then i'm all for it. cash machines, those self service ticket machines on train stations, things like that, then it would be a real step forward!
