Voice Recognition for a 3400?

I sold my 3400 to a friend and now she wants voice recognition. It looks like both ViaVoice and iListen require G3 or better. Has anyone used voice recognition with a 603e machine? Can you tell me what worked for you.

PowerMacs: G5 1.6 GHz, G4 PCI 400 MHz (Yikes!); PowerBooks: G3 (Kanga/3500), Mac OS X (10.3.9), Yikes! Overclocked to 450, broken internal USB

Both of those software packages may need a G3, but it is possible to do speech recognition on a 680x0. I used to do it on a Colour Classic. But you need a special microphone, called an Apple PlainTalk microphone, which came in a kit, plus PlainTalk extensions.

I have no idea where you might get one now, apart from eBay.

I did try an ordinary mic too, but it didn't work.
