I just saw this over at LinuxDevices.com:


IBM toolkit targets "multimodal" apps to Sharp Zaurus 5600
http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8795523586.html

IBM announced the availability of a new toolkit for developing multimodal
(XHTML + voice) applications for mobile Linux-based devices. Developers
can use the toolkit to create multimodal applications -- programs that
combine GUI, speech recognition, and text-to-speech functions within a
single application -- and deploy them on the Linux-based Sharp Zaurus 5600,
IBM said.

The toolkit, called the "WebSphere Everyplace Multimodal Environment for
Embedix," is based on technologies derived from IBM's Embedded ViaVoice
"advanced speech recognition" (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) engines,
combined with Opera's embedded browser, IBM said.
