Gentlemen:
We have served as counsel for Voice Control Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on
Form S-8 covering the sale of a maximum of 1,080,320 shares (the "Shares") of
Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company. The Shares are to be issued upon
the exercise of options granted under the Voice Control Systems, Inc. 1992
Stock Option Plan (formerly known as the Scott Instruments Corporation 1992
Stock Option Plan) described in the Registration Statement.
We have examined such documents and questions of law as we have deemed
necessary to render the opinion expressed below. Based upon the foregoing, we
are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and delivered, are duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ CROUCH AND HALLETT, LLP
