A sound card with built-in wave-table synthesis and a DSP, the Aria 16se ($169) has 16-bit digital-audio playback and recording and a 44.1-kHz sampling rate. The card's Aria Listener Speech Recognition uses speaker-independent technology, which lets it recognize most words in its vocabulary regardless of who says them, according to Prometheus Products (Tualatin, OR). The card also lets you create customized vocabularies and has a SCSI-2 connection that supports CD-ROM drives from a variety of manufacturers.
