The video is pretty bad quality. But man that's funny!
It's a shame to use the word "recognition" hehe. It's so typical of M$ to blame others for the errors...

See what you don't understand is the great AI being used there, it was just spicing up a boring letter. You could just dictate the dictionary and perhaps end up with the next great novel. Who need monkeys any typewriters anymore.

Speech recognition has never been very reliable - and probably never will be, which is a shame as it could be useful.

The speeech recognition proggy that came with my Microphone when I had my old win 98 PC was very good at it, but required that you configured it to your voice first. Well I see Vista has pretty much left us speechless.

Blaming it on the ambient noise? Hah, excuses, there was none, just say it wasn't ready as it was when they tested it, like the exploding dell, it was just a screwed up laptop.

In the Vista beta public release, speech recognition worked great.
Realiability was much better than I expected, and the thing learned
the more I used it. This version is the best I've ever tried.

I have removed Vista beta since it does not work with some of my programs, yet, so I never tried the particular case. I'm just
saying it worked as advertised. They claim 99%, and I believe it.

99% is still bad though. It can take half a minute to say 100 words, and if there's two wrong words every minute, that's not very efficient.

Indeed - it really needs needs to be pratically instant to be , well, pratical... Accuracy needs to be very high as well.

That aint bad - You'd be surprised how often you misrecognise people's speaking - especially if there is a dialect difference.

That video was pure class!
