The long night of waiting is over. Windows Vista is deep into the Beta and CTP programs. Some of the features are recognizable from Windows XP, while others are so absolutely amazing they will knock your socks off. One of the new features is the built in Voice Recognition. I took the time to make a short demonstration on how to set it up and use it. It is so impressive! So if you would like to see the future of Voice recognition in action on todays Windows Vista operating system don’t take my word for it. Watch the podcast and see it for yourself, then try it on your own machine. This demonstartion was recorded using build 5270 (Beta 2) of Windows Vista. Enjoy the podcast and watch for future casts on features and benefits of Windows Vista.

You could start by calling it SPEECH recognition, not VOICE recognition. It seems as though you you don't even know how to say what you mean.

Yeah, it works but it was so slow. Why would I ever use it? It's too complicated to the regular user to learn all the special commands when they can just click with a mouse, and anyone extremely computer savy uses the mouse even less because it is slower than using the keyboard for most repetitive tasks.

How about the following commands (from the desktop):
1. directions to nearest bar.
- of course you would precofigure directions to go to maps.google.com and it would insert "bars near " & your address from your profile.
2. google pictures bill gates
opens firefox and googles
3. edit desktop picture
which would open the current desktop image in your default photo editor.
4. New spreadsheet
Opens xl
5. IM Dude What's up?
Opens IM chat window and sends "What's up" to Dude
6. Play spider.
7. ET Phone Home.
Opens skype and makes a (very) long distance call, temporarily suspending recognition until disconnected.

This would be a truly amazing interface. What was presented here does not appear to hold any real value to the general user.
