Moved: Is voice recognition in Apple's future?

satchmo

I haven't heard much on this front lately. Has everyone including Apple abandoned this technology?

The hype these days seem to be tablets (MS' upcoming tablet next month).



I've always believed that this would be a technology would pursue or explore, given their penchant for user interfaces.

Afterall, text input and finding a document would be much faster than using a stylus.

Isn't there voice recognition software that comes with OS X?

Yep its embedded in the system,and it works quite well,though limited.For a complete voice recognition system use IBM's ViaVoice.

Jobs is looking for something like AT&T's Natural Voices.

Pretty neat. Much better than Victoria. Or Pipe Organ.



We'll see this, or something like this, in 10.3 I bet.

This has nothing to do with future hardware.



Moving to General Discussion.
