AFAIK Linux-Mandrake ProSuite (or how it's called) has ViaVoice bundled.
So, ViaVoice for Linux was released, but channel is different from "available 
from FTP site".
And, to my best knoledge, IBM was not trying to promote ViaVoice on KOffice 
mailing list, while it wil be funny and I'd like to see that ;-)

Anyway, I would not compare ViaVoice and Stencil Builder - it's just like 
comparing Boeing aircraft and bicycle,
IBM's investment in ViaVoice is enermous, and I, personally, would not mind 
*buying* it  (if I really need it)
