Yes, commercial and 1000 word vocab were the qualifiers; let me know if
you still challenge the claim, otherwise it gets immortalized in a web
page soon.

And given that AI didn't really get started until around 1960, and that
storage for digitized speech would have been very expensive back then, I'd
be interested in any references you could provide for speech recognition
way back in the 1950's.
