But who would want your email read back to you over the phone except as an absolute last resort? Dumb. And, I am a *big* Exchange fan.

<div>Something tells me you haven't watched any of the Exchange 2007 demos. <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/preview/evaluation/demos.mspx">http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/preview/evaluation/demos.mspx</a>. Watch "Phone-Based User Experience With Outlook Voice Access". There is a lot more to it then you think. While it may be possible to do with Cepstral / Festival and some speech recognition.. it wouldn't be an easy task.
