Vista's Speech Recognitioninitiated by Lions on April 03, 2007 (http://extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,2109974,00.asp) One of Vista's coolest features is one nobody talks about. Speech recognition is built into every copy of Vista, and it's more than just dictation. If you have Windows Vista, even the Home Basic version, you already have one of the more powerful speech recognition systems available. We explore how it works. |

I bought it, installed it, a day later I went back to XP.
that was a shameful case of selective media editing. you can see how the voice recognition worked in entire version of that video here @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX8oYoYy2Gc
"Let's not forget that the first part of 'recognition' is 'rec', as in 'train wreck' that was today's demo for sure"
Uh, what?
But really it is pretty dire - I can navigate much faster with my keyboard than saying "windows tab" "dear mom" (ma?) new paragraph etc.
And how is this going to work in a noisy office? I have enough trouble listening on the phone sometimes so can't imagine speech recognition on this level is going to be very good...
Pretty interesting. I would have never normally tried it but the article sure makes me want to give it a go when I have some free time.
"There's a popular saying that all innovation comes from the wide and open industry but it only becomes visible/popular when Microsoft nicks it (READ: buys some company [1])."
Your right. Microsoft obviously stole this idea from some small open source project. I mean it's not like anyone has ever thought of using voice recognition to control computers before.
I don't think he's saying Microsoft stole it. They don't even claim to have developed it. Vista uses a simple customized version of Dragon Naturally Speaking.
neva used it, wats all this about>??>?
XP was better I say??
