I’ve dabbled with speech recognition, and even with lengthy training and babying, running on a quad core PC with CPU power up the wazoo, Dragon 10 is only somewhat accurate – under ideal conditions, with a great mic, and in a silent environment.

It’s a far cry from recognizing a name in a phonebook to entering freeform text via speech reliably under all the conditions a phone will find itself.

Essentially… I’m hugely sceptical of this thing, I don’t believe it can deliver what they promise and even if it should work I don’t for a second believe it will work reliably and cleanly every time.

And… what utter moron came up with “Zumba Lumba”? Who is the inventor – Willy Wonka?

“Hey guys, look at my new phone! It’s a Zumba Lumba!” ….
