I don't think speech recognition is trivial, in fact I don't think computers
will get really good at it until they develop some understanding of what is
said. Even a human would have difficulty distinguishing "I scream" from "ice
cream" if they didn't understand the context the remark was said in. The
same is true about machine translation, when they get good at that the era
of AI will have arrived.  By the way Eugen, I wish you wouldn't send
attachments to the list, they're inconvenient and that's the way people get
viruses.
