People have to realize a few things about speech recognition. As Frank basically says, there’s a time and place for it. Meaning: you have to be in the right environment and have a good mic. As far as the demo video, keep in mind that Long Zheng only went through the basic 5 minute training session; speech recognition becomes more accurate in Vista as you take the additional training sessions AND after additional usage since it learns as you go.

I like what I saw in that video and I think that voice recognition is good for some task an on some occasions but I’m disappointed with this implementation in Vista. I saw the demo movie and how this feature miserably failed and in this one I saw the guy repeating over and over some commands because it was not recognized correctly and the video was shot in a quite environment, imagine if you use that in your car, for example, with all the noise around you

Cody, have you been reading my Outlook “To Do” list over my shoulder ;) After I saw the speech demo, I immediately added a task to bring Vista back on to one of Sammy’s partitions. Too many fun tasks and not enough time….sigh….

Hey kevin,

Have you put vista back on sammy? Because I’m thinking it would be sweet to have GPS running on a vista breathing Q1 using voice recognition. Just think….. “Sammy I’m LOST!!!! Take me home.”

I don’t normally like talking to computers, but I’m also a wannabe writer. I often speak out dialogue or brainstorm out loud, and having my PC write it down would be awesome. It never occurred to me until seeing this. Unfortunately, I use a mac at home…..

Somehow I just don’t like the idea of “mumbling” to my pc ;-)

And imagine everyone speaking to his/her laptop in a meeting…
