Randy, my problem is that I am really lost in this area.
Were it not for a few working examples provided by MS,
I could have never written VR.EXE (I know JUST enough
to be dangerous :-)). It might help to know EXACTLY (in
very literal terms) what Dragon means my "MS SAPI
complient". A working example (in C or C++) would
also probably do the trick. I could then either
mod VR.EXE or write a separate Dragon-specific
program. The cost would be determined by estimated
difficulty (probably btw $100-$300).
