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

Useless I know but it amused me at the time

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.

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.
