” IBM had the speech recognition working on 1994 hardware ”

I have a speech recognition module for my Commodore 64 that I used all the time back in 1986. Just like this, you had to train it, but it still worked and contained lots of system control commands as well. The difference is the 1-second gap you had to leave between words and the fact that it was a hardware device that cost me $300.

Has anyone noticed how the French video doesn’t contain the use of the Speech Recognition program as you can hear him typing on his keyboard. Also the in Vista why the hell do you need two clocks. You have an analogue on the sidebar and the digital one on you’re task bar.

Thus the speech recognition has lots of nice features for those who no longer wish to use a mass. At those who want to use it as a substitute for typing it’s absolutely terrible. Fort instance, I dictated this post using this the speech recognition. Can you tell what I’m trying to say? Data what age, this text does not reflect all the spurious highlighting that had to do with my mouse before I can complete the post.

The above post was dictated with Vista Speech Recognition, trained to my voice. It was not corrected, as the correction process in VSR usually requires several prolonged bouts spelling the words out, and hoping it hears you correctly.

The Speech Recognition in vista is fine, though its more a function of how you speak, Speak well and it works well but deviate from your new reading voice and it’ll make a few mistakes in the dictation.

If you want to try something different check out SpeakMediaPro and vive la difference, it’s not dictation but its a pretty cool way to play your media, the speech engine doesn’t require any training and can be used by anyone with an appropriate accent. http://www.speakmediapro.com

Johny-D, linux is just about as bad as windows, you have to code most of your own drivers and such because no one does it for you. And if you don’t then your using a shitty computer and need to buy a better one. And for the video, very nice, will have to give it a try in a while.

Great demonstration! Thanks for posting. Vista has something going for it after all

I prefer Quicktime. It is a really solid format and at least it supports a number of codecs. It is the preferred by anyone who cares about quality playback. Anyone with an iPod already has it and it’s simple to install. H.264 is an open standard, unlike all those proprietary Microsoft codecs. H.264 It is very scalable and great for HD. Unlike Windows Media Player and Real, the scrubber in Quicktime actually works in a useful manner for both streamed and progressive downloads. Mac bashers forget that most of us don’t want to build a computer from scratch.

Blah Quicktime format. Sorry but there is no such thing as a video that’s good enough to make someone want to install Quicktime. Other than not seeing the video – this is a good article.
