Mark,

First I'm referring to movies that you would go out
to see at the show.
I guess what I'm after is an SR activated "Movie Phone"
equivalent.
You would ask for the movie showtimes and ECS
would respond with "Which movie?".
At this point the text of the downloaded (local)
showtimes
would have to be available to the SR engine so when
the name of the movie is spoken it could search the
file for that text and speak that "area", or paragraph,
depending on how the downloaded file was arranged.
This type of logic could be used for lots of downloads
where you'd prefer to have spoken just the info
you really want.
I hope I'm explaining this so it makes some sense.

later,

Carl
