Warning for the delicate. There are a couple swear words.

What was this all about?

A more family friendly link

I'm actually pretty impressed with what Microsoft has been able to do with their bundled voice recognition software, but at this point of development, the implementation is far from practical and is more of a curiosity than a useful tool.

The biggest problem isn't so much the actual phonemic recognition but context recognition and parsing useful information from that.

This is two years old. Before Vista was even out.
He was in an auditorium and said it might not work. The second time, it did work.
CNBC showed you the first part where it messed up and not the second part where it worked.

That anchor made the same terrible pun twice, it's like he wasn't sure if anyone got it the first time so he used big retarded quotation fingers. I really don't like that guy.

That was 2.5 years old. Have they improved the technology? I wonder how this compares to Dragon NaturallySpeaking or similar software?

I would just like to point out that the "family friendly link" was a completely different clip that has nothing whatsoever to do with the original video except for the theme of voice recognition gone bad.

The original video was clearly a purposely made comedy video, possible mocking the one currently posted here, but otherwise having nothing to do with it.

Back in the mid 90's, when I worked for a retail electronics place, we had a bunch of computers that had voice recognition.  Demoing that part was always a pain.  Those who have heard me talk know I don't have a very pronounced accent, and yet  I'd tell it to "Open Quicken" (the financial software) sometimes it'd fire some kid's game or another program instead.

Some things never change.
