[Athen] portable DNS?

[Nettie Fischer]

Thanks Wink,

I totally forgot the recorded speech option.  There are several digital
recorders that are recommended by Nuance - Sony is one brand name but do not
know the models.

What the user does is profide a "recorded" voice profile - starting point -
the software allows you to establish several voice profiles and the recorded
voice is  just one.
