Nice demo, but I'm skeptical.

I've used Dragon NaturallySpeaking for over 10 years for dictation (not for navigating), and I am generally impressed with its accuracy. But where it stumbles, and stumbles badly, is in the correction mechanisms, especially in programs that do not adhere to specific standards. (It does more or less OK in Microsoft Word, but in third-party programs it can be absolutely miserable.) Dragon does not "remember where the cursor is" for more than the very last dictation in some programs. So you cannot go back very far in a paragraph and say "Select something-or-other" and have Dragon expect to find it.

Moreover in some programs when the correction is used, even though the right material is selected, the cursor seems to lose its place and replace the new text but not completely over the old text -- trust me, it makes a mash of things. When correction become such a hassle, ones enthusiasm for the program dies quickly.

Interestingly, one of the best programs to dictate in is WordPad. Dragon never seems to lose its place in that program.

Incidentally, I have dictated this in Dragon, and have only had to go back and make one correction.

Great tool

walkingmac — Wed, 01 Mar 2006 06:53:50 GMT

umm... can't see the vid, but this sounds much like what I already do (and have been doing) with my mac. Only with mac os I have Applescripting that I can 'program' commands to give me a lot more flexibility and versatility. Some of the points and commands mentioned are much more advanced, but keep in mind that speech recognition in the mac has gone pretty much unchanged for about a decade. With M$ releasing this I bet Apple will rekindle their efforts in this technology.

re: Vista Voice Recognition Podcast

ylon — Wed, 01 Mar 2006 06:58:16 GMT

Yep, still copying features that have been in Mac OS X for a while. Sure, they may enhance things, but its certainly nothing new and nothing that Apple can't enhance very quickly to surpass this.

For all the Mac Zealots complaining, MS had a speech recognition SDK kit out a long time ago. It worked better than what was on Mac OS 8 - MUCH better even back in the day (1996 or 97ish). I hope you Zealots can actually comment on something in life w/o always having to put your Apple comments scattered all over the place, makes it look like your desperate for something (which I don’t know what, but something).

Cool that it's going to be in Vista for free, no add-on needed, but it's been done? Anyone ever heard of Scansoft - Dragon Naturally Speaking? Nothing really totally new, besides, I don't think Voice recgonition is worth using yet at this point. It's so much faster typing with a keyboard or pointing/clicking with the mouse. I suppose it is a good gesture though as a built-in accessiblilty service, I will give them that. Bravo.

I wonder how the engine handles people with low raspy voice with weak inflection. My friend is disabled and told me that is his problem with the speech recognition engines he's tried: they don't identify him.

Mr. Henley's voice is pretty clear and the system had trouble recognizing "bill gates" from "build."

James Valentine — Wed, 01 Mar 2006 09:37:25 GMT

Interesting, but throws up some questions: if you wanted to write 'close that' in a text editor, for example - would you *have* to temporarily disable speech recognition?
It's a fun gummick, but controling the OS with speech commands was patently slower than just clicking around with the mouse - and relatively error prone (viz. having to repeat 'load Office' and 'scroll down' commands, which would just get to be annoying as hell).
It's also fairly slow... after the final demonstration, there was a fair lapse before it parsed the 'stop listening' command, and starting doing all sorts of odd things in the meantime.
It's the sort of auperfluous feature that'll get people all excited in principal, but won't get any use in practise - I can't imagine anyone putting up with the quirks for more than a week after unwrapping.

Its nice and shows good improvements but laks so much that I still would not bother. Untill this technology is perfect and has a "startrek computer" like responce, or at least gets somewhere close, its probably going to be a waste of time. Looks kind of fun to play with for a bit. M$ realy has to keep up on this for it to gather any popularity and I would like to see that.

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.

re: Vista Voice Recognition Podcast

Rob Phillips — Wed, 01 Mar 2006 21:26:14 GMT

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.

I am impressed. Can this application be used in the healthcare arena? I work with a lot of physicians and healthcare providers. Physicians have to do dictations regarding a patients Operating Reports, Discharge Summaries, History and Physicals etc. Is Vista intuitive to recognize foreign accents? We often times see physicians from all over the world. Most do not have typing skills and would prefer to dictate their reports. Currently, they have to wait for a transcriptionist to type their reports, then they have to review the preliminary reports, make the necessary edits via typing themselves and then sign for a Final Report. Currently many physicians are being trained on an electronic medical record which is the patients chart. I want to know how do they builed the medical library vocabulary? Is this based on "Dragon" technology? What is different about Vista as compared to other Voice Recognition programs? What are the possibilities of interfacing this program with our Electronic Medical Record? Who holds the Market Share in this Industry?, Have you made projections about positioning this product in the voice recognition industry? Is your stock on NYSE or NASDQ?
