Microsoft Voice 2.0

Microsoft Voice is a voice recognition system for Microsoft Windows 95/NT. With it one could operate Windows by speaking commands into a microphone, and it could also read text aloud. With a voice command, one can launch an application, switch application, or control a custom application. It also included a speech synthesizer and could read back text from the screen. It later evolved in to a speech API (SAPI) development tool rather than a being a consumer product. In the end, it did not provide any significant advantage over using a mouse.

It was also included with Microsoft Phone.

Funny, there does not seem to be a command for "DIE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" or "What do you MEAN there is a General Protection Fault?!"
