Re: Microsoft Dictation on Vista?

Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys; I completely forgot
about this message...

Anyway, I don't quite remember, but was the source code for the actual
Microsoft Dictation program (with the sys-tray icon and all)
provided?  If it was, how hard would it be to rig it up to work with
the existing Vista speech engine (which, after some playing with,
doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as the infamous demo would make one
think)?
