Hi Dieter, thanks for your reply. I recall that thread, and indeed I participated in it, convinced that I could help clear up the confusion. Since then I noticed that the description on your web page and in the pdf states that it is indeed an ASR among other things. I don't see how this can be done, but perhaps your idea of restricting it to three stages is the clue. In any case, I'm not sure if you are aware, there is a lot of confusion about this module. I think possibly buyers are unable to sort out what it does and doesn't do, and choose a different module instead. The ASR language doesn't help. It's a shame because it is pretty simple actually and one of the best modules in euro format.
