Hi folks,
Here's an interesting tidbit from the MacOSRumors site:
"Apple has a really cool voice recognition product in the wings - *reallycool*!
"It is similar to the old voice recognition in that it works with AppleScript, but the really cool thing is that you *INTERact* with it more than just giving it commands! So if you tell your computer to do something, it might ask you for more information as it works on the task for you.
"The demo I saw was awesome and included a very useful email-reading session in which subject lines were read out, it was possible to ask who sent it, some emails were moved to a different folder by saying "I'll read that later." whereas others were read right away. It was all very natural, and performance was *excellent* given that the demonstrator was standing about 20 feet away from a powerbook in a room with some 60 other people!"
Sound familiar? Sounds suspiciously like MagicTalk to me.
While this site has a mixed record in terms of getting rumors right, they have gotten a fair percentage (say, 40-50%) right. And while AAPL certainly might produce such functionality without the help of GMGC, and while there would be certain technical issues to resolve (such has how to run NT-based technology in MacOS X, which is UNIX-based), it is at least food for thought.
