Anyone know of a PPC utility that will listen for user-defined voice commands and issue the equivalent of a keyboard key-press (or series of them) or a stylus-click as a result?
This would be used, for example, to save on writing repetitive text strings.

e.g. say "Signature" and a text-string is inserted in the document you are writing that contains a pre-defined multi-line signature, including address, phone-number, e-mail etc...

Some applications use keyboard shortcuts to launch program features, others use keyboard macros to launch a series of multiple events. These could be voice activated.

A good desktop analog of what I am looking for is " VR Commander".
This is not a voice-to-text application (a la Dragon-Naturally-Speaking or ViaVoice), nor is is an application launcher (like many of the PPC voice-dialler type apps). It can launch scripts and applications like an application launcher, but it's real strength lies in the macro-launching capabillity (as described above).

Any ideas anyone?
