Microsoft, IBM Tout Speech Software | |

Speech recognition, one of the computing world's long-deferred dreams, will be highlighted in separate initiatives from Microsoft and IBM next week. On Monday, Microsoft, along with representatives from Cisco Systems, Intel, Philips and SpeechWorks, will hold a press conference at its Mountain View, Calif., offices. The companies will announce a collaborative effort to lay the groundwork for accessing the Web through voice commands, according to a statement from Microsoft. The idea behind the effort is to come up with practical ways to "provide consumers with multiple means of accessing information anytime, anywhere over a number of different devices--including PCs, wireless (handhelds), mobile phones and telephones--over diverse networks," according to Microsoft. IBM, meanwhile, will unfurl the technical details behind the PowerPC 405LP, a chip for handhelds that contains dedicated circuitry for performing speech recognition. | ||

The speech to text software isn't too bad for me, especially if you train it, and the command and control functionality is 99.9% of the time right on for me.
I guess you just have to learn how to talk more clearly. |
