Remember the famous Windows 98 demo? Microsoft demonstrated the then new feature - Plug and Play - to be introduced in Windows 98. (discussion)


Now, we have a new demo for the upcoming Windows Vista.



It seems Microsoft can't recognise “mom” and “aunt”.

The guy said, “dear mom comma, fix aunt, delete that, delete that, delete that, I think it's picking up all of the echo here, delete, select all.”

I tried the Vista voice recognition system just now, and my results are even better. I don't think it got along well with my accent, the same thing happens with those voice-automated phone services.

No, I asked the computer to say "This is a test of the Vista voice recognition system", like I said in that video. It outputted "s44".

It got your sample as "Pressing Home Key", "Pressing Insert Key", "Pasting", "Deleting", and ultimately outputted nothing. I didn't hear if there was any noise because I had a cable directly-connecting the headphone and microphone ports in order to get your voice recognized by the speech recognition app. You can activate it and try it yourself somewhere in Control Panel.

Do you have an MPEG-4 decoder? I use ffdshow, which handles just about every format I've heard of, but there are also other lighter packs like Xvid, which only does MPEG-4.

Well, I noticed this message when I tried to set up the Vista Speech Recognition.



Obviously, everybody knows that Antony does not speak English, but he can still try.

Now, how do I get the internal microphone (iSight) working under Vista?
