So for this blog post after the long, cold, winter, I wanted to do something kinda funny. Anyway, I remember hearing some hype about Windows Vista and its revolutionary speech recognition. Having had other things to occupy my mind, testing of this particular feature escaped me. A few weeks ago though, I broke down and gave the speech recognition a whirl. At first things were a little rocky, so I tinkered with some settings in an attempt to optimize this tool to my speaking style. I even spent time training the darn thing! By now, I’m sure you’re curious as to what my final opinion is on Vista’s speech recognition. Well, I won’t spoil anything for you. Below is what Vista thought I said when I dictated this blog post to it in MS Word. Below that is a link to the sound recording of me dictating. Enjoy!

Hmmmm....close, but no cigar! I wonder where that saying came from?!
Very interesting. I always love your technology reviews. I still wish we had windows vista...with or without speech recognition. :)
