    Hello, Ken,<br>
    <br>
    If you are interested in looking at platforms, you also might want
    to look at VoiceBox: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
      href="http://code.funnymonkey.com/">http://code.funnymonkey.com/</a><br>
    <br>
    Disclaimer: I'm part of the team that built and maintains VoiceBox.<br>
    <br>
    It's free to download, install, modify, and use any way you see fit.<br>
    <br>
    Screencasts are at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
      href="http://code.funnymonkey.com/screencasts">http://code.funnymonkey.com/screencasts</a>.<br>
    <br>
    RE the timeline: breaking your project down into a set of phased
    deliverables might be a more maintainable approach, as this would
    allow you to proceed in stages without committing too much in the
    way of time/money into a small development window. <br>
    <br>
    Like some of the other respondents in this thread, we are booked up
    and not looking for work at the moment, but your project sounds
    interesting, and this list is a good place to find development
    talent. <br>
    <br>
    Cheers,<br>
    <br>
    Bill<br>
