#4 Voice Recognition killer app in waiting. Microsoft has made few public displays of voice recognition, but this doesn't mean they aren't aware of the future of voice related products. On the contrary, they are waiting for the advancement of CPU technology so that a product that makes few mistakes can be brought out. 95% correct speech recognition is great but it still leaves lots of room for improvement before it'll replace the keyboard. Intel ??? I don't know what to make of Intel's lack of real hands on stance. Why isn't Intel front and center along with IBM in the voice recognition field? It's beyond me. There's not too many apps that need giga power and there won't be in the near future either. Soft DVD ? Don't think so. Edge Microsoft..."continuous "speech recognition came out in 1997. Look for more evolutionary steps every year from now on . Is Microsoft ready to put some voice recognition capability into WIN98? What about O/S2 WARP ver4? and PowerMacs text to voice? Things are wide open... Oh well maybe this is just a toy for years to come. I"m curious as to what others think Microsoft and Intel are doing strategically as far as voice recognition goes. Is voice recognition a non-issue in driving future demand for pcs?
