It seems the news release was premature and that it never happened. There are news announcements floating around for 2004 about Via Voice being made open source. Training seems like a project all in itself, I'm hoping to gather some strength to try it this weekend. My requirements is something that at the least runs on linux.Ĭan anyone recommend something?
