Alan...Voice Applications are just in their infancy. Maybe several years off before they become truly useful in general use. They will require much more R&D and much greater power than todays PC's can provide to reach their potential. Todays versions of Voice recognition may be used in limited form for select limited applications.... Not just a matter of more powerful PC's ...much work is needed to improve the Voice software to perform at a higher level than what's available on the market today.

Alan, Add to your list (recognition of the "MASTERS VOICE", Spelling, Grammar, etc.) the recognition of your voice when you have a cold, are stressed, et cetera. That is, all those factors that change your voice and make you not sound like you anymore. I agree with MK that we're at the infancy of voice recognition. Ultimately, it's probably going to take much more specialized, more powerful DSPs (accessing RDRAM memory, of course) than we have today. We'll have to have these specialized chips in our devices much as we have separate graphics-processing chips in our systems. Dave
