Speech Recognition


I'm using speech recognition to write this whole blog. I'm quite amazed at how much the computer understands.

Despite a few hiccups the computer has seemed remarkably good at recognizing what I'm saying though I am having to speak slowly at times.

When all is said and done I suspect it may currently be easier to use the mouse and type rather than this software. However there is something amazingly cool about simply speaking to the computer. I feel like I should be on Star Trek.

I've so far found that I can open word, my Internet browser and the start button and I am keen to discover what else I'm able to do with this new toy.

Just remember to turn off the voice recognition before playing back the video or it follows the voice instructions coming through the speakers!!!
