i know it's possible to be aware of your lips and tongue, but is it possible to be able to whisper and know that your not moving your vocal cords? that must have taken some l337 ninja training or something. can you also consciously control your heartbeat? and "accuracy...still too poor to be used"? microsoft's speech recognition software in office2003 doesn't seem too bad, especially after you train it
