Glitch in voice-recognition software foils Microsoft demo | |
|
||
| Time: 01:13 EST/06:13 GMT | News Source: USA Today | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Microsoft was hoping new voice-recognition software would impress an auditorium full of financial analysts, but a glitch turned the live demonstration into a bit of an embarrassment. The trouble began when the presenter, a member of the team working on the new version of the company's Windows operating system, gave his first voice command. Instead of typing, "Dear mom," as Shanen Boettcher had instructed, the computer spurted out: "Dear aunt." After the first round of chuckles, Boettcher said "Fix aunt," but the words, "let's set" appeared on the screen. | ||

It was a good laugh to watch the video!
Oh well, MS can afford this and it's just funny... no real impact except a good laugh. |

"The problem in this demo was simply a matter of the audio sub-system not respecting that audio gain "request" that WSR made. So effectively, all the audio data that was being received by WSR was being clipped, and thus was incredibly distorted."
