With all speech recognition software you have to "train" it which is a fairly time consuming process.
I can't speak to Dragon products, but the need to train is the key thing that newer technology is trying to eliminate in speech recognition. My phone requires no training, I can just say "call David Rankin" and it would find you in the address book. Same with Ford Active Sync. Same with some modern telephone answering systems. (Call HP tech support to hear a demo.)
Admittedly these things are using a vastly reduced vocabulary. But never the less, training is on the way out.
I definitely need a new phone. The Motorola v3xx is pretty good, but I end up in shouting matches with it just trying to get it to dial "Don". You know the scenario.
me: "name dial" "Don" phone: "did you say home?" me: "no" phone: "say a command" me: "name dial" phone: "say the name" me: "Don" phone: "did you say home?" me: "NO you %$#@#^%#$ phone, I said DON" phone: "say a command" AAARRRGGHHHH!
LOL. Exactly the same problem here with a friend named Dan. I had to put him in the phonebook as Daniel. (Moto Krazr k1). This will probably be my last Motorola phone unless stunning new designs are released, because its getting to be a fairly old design. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
