i just saw a guy using microsoft 2003. and he was using voice recognition technology. what you say, it will type for you. wow...

anyone used it? i thought it was pretty cool although it is way inaccurate for my accent heh.

I read somewhere that someone farted into the microphone and it typed up "France".

Useless I know but it amused me at the time :D

<span style="color: lightblue">There's been free voice recognition technolgy abou tfor a while now. I read about it in one of the magazines we get about 6 months ago. Ofcourse, now I'm intrigued and I"m going to go hunting for that magazine to find out exactly what this is called... but the fact that it's a standalone technology means it would be able to work with any program - older versions of MS office, better products such as OpenOffice, your chat programs, your webbrowser (or webbrowser wanna-be if you still use IE for some reason)... possibly even games. Try doing that with MS built-in feature creep. [img]smile.gif[/img]

There's a shareware voice recognition program called Ivos which I found to be very accurate. Too bad my trial's up - I was having fun with that. :(

im not sure really but this comes with MS Office 2003 i think OR the extra bundle which was instlled together with win xp. anyway its free and integrated nicely [img]smile.gif[/img]

I doubt that it would work for me. My accent changes often from lancashire (UK) to aussie to irish etc. It confuses people on the phone so it sure as hell will confuse some software.
