| | Has anyone Tested the Speech Recognition? I don't have Vista installed, but I am interested in the Speech recognition and how it works. How accurate is it? Can you open "Notepad" start speaking about anything (e.g.; how to make scrambled eggs) and does Vista just type away? Has anyone tried the Speech Recognition features yet? Please share your experiences with all. Thanks Sean |

| | Re: Has anyone Tested the Speech Recognition? Sean , Speech recognition work great here in the US of A. You folks need to remember the beta wasn't design for other dialects just yet. I can control computer commands, and dictate to office 2007 beta. It keeps up with my conversation quite well. I even use it with Mirc so I do type much these days.

| | Re: Has anyone Tested the Speech Recognition? It works "if" you constantly train it. A lot of persons will get some good results with a little bit of training and thinking everything can be done in speech. Not so, you need to continually teach it so it better recognize what you are saying. There is a tutorial to help you get started in Vista, its really cool. You can also dictate commands which is just amazing.  -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Sean Thompson" <seanie@newsgroups.nospam> wrote in message news:OKuVc9ghGHA.3956@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >I don't have Vista installed, but I am interested in the Speech recognition >and how it works. > > How accurate is it? > Can you open "Notepad" start speaking about anything (e.g.; how to make > scrambled eggs) and does Vista just type away? > Has anyone tried the Speech Recognition features yet? > > Please share your experiences with all. > > Thanks > Sean > > > |
