Notes on Compatibility:

Speech Recognition Engine: TS/PP-Draft uses SAPI 5 (Speech Application Programming Interface version 5) to interact with the speech recognition engine. Various incarnations of MS Office XP include Speech Tools by default, which has an SAPI 5 compatible speech recognition engine. Speech Tools is accessible from the Control Panel. See the operating system's online help for more details on installing and using the Speech Tools. If you don't already have one, the TS/PP-Draft 6.0 installation CD also includes Microsoft's free SAPI 5 speech recognition engine. This engine is a bit too large to include in the downloadable version of TS/PP-Draft, but if you ask me, I'll email it to you.

For exporting coordinates, you create the pushpins in the mapping software and label them. Although I'm sure there are other mapping programs out there, I've tried only two:

GPS Receiver: Compatible GPS receivers include

The majority of GPS receivers comply with the NMEA 0183 Standard. TS/PP-Draft has been tested with GPS receivers from Magellan, Garmin, HAiCOM, Pharos, and they all work great for the most part. See my recommendations for GPS receivers for more information.
