    Speech recognition has always been something of a holy grail for the hi-tech industry.

    For years the technology has promised much but it has failed to become part of everyday life.

    But now the software is reflecting a changed climate where security is paramount.

    Recent advances in speech technology have led to a whole new range of products with different aspirations.

    Hmmm - they've been saying that speech recognition is nearly here for the past 15-20 years. In some respects it is here already - But it's no where near good enough. For example - look at the hassle (admittedly very funny hassle) Jeremy Clarkson had with the Mercedes Voice Recognition system!
