Speech software for palm os 5

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

Does anyone know of Speech software for palm os 5. A freind of mine
who is blind recently asked if you could get speech software for the
palm os. He says it is available for windows and symbian operating
systems but he was taken with the built in Wi-Fi in my Tungsten C.

There's Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I wrote about it some time ago

I don't think that voice commands will work, but if your friend wishes to
write documents by speech, this may be the way to go.

There is a software program called Hiptalk available from Handango or
PalmGear that is a Palm OS5 text to speach synthesizer.
