Like most things speech recognition has its faults. Will it ever be perfect,
you ask? Probably not, simply because of all the dialects. You really need
time to train this software, although it is better than the one packaged
with Windows XP. I well remember trying that and I only had to breathe into
the microphone and it would type away merrily - absolute rubbish - but it
would still type away
The only thing the Vista voice recognition does for me is give me a massive
migraine. I'm not sure whether I'm not ready for speech recognition or
speech recognition isn't ready for me. I will try it again though when I
have more time to spend training it.
Incidentally, did you notice during the training sessions where you read the
text that no matter what word you actually pronounced (the speech card could
say Dog and you could say Elephant) speech recognition accepted it and moved
on to the next word? No a very convincing way to teach!
