Savant, Ha ha, congrats please proceed to the next checkpoint. >>RE: Schemas...I broke mine, do you know where I might obtain a new one?<< >>Is there a chance that Ali is related to the fellow that proclaimed that "10 megs is all we can use in our lifetimes?"<< Ali's a smart guy, the problem is that he's operating at a much higher frequency than most of us... >>difference between speech and voice rec. ...are you referencing between individual voices and one size fits all?<< Simply put . Voice recognition allows a computer to recognize the difference between sounds and voices. With ambient -background- noise a fridge door opening can sound like "wheel freeze crash" to a computer.--Of course a person knows right away that wasn't a voice. A computer must analyze the situation first, thus the recognition part. Speech recognition is advanced voice recognition software that utilizes rules of grammar (context too) and a d-base of words and their pronounciation to input speech into the computer. In the old days one had to stop (discrete recognition) after each word for the computer to "understand". Nowadays a user can speak at almost a natural speed. This is called continuous speech recognition. Ali was right, strictly speaking "voice recognition" by itself is not the future of computing, it is the past. A stepping stone to world of speech recognition and VOICE INTERFACES. Anyway I'm sure that you can get a much more intelligent and technical explanation from Ali. BTW, how did you come to find this thread?( It's already off the new subjects link)
