Anyone messing around with Voice Recognition?
VR is limited, but still cool. I don't think VR will ever be good
enough to take dictation, but it still is at least as easy to navigate around the desktop as using the touch pad on a laptop. One feature I see that is missing is the ability to overlay numbers on the desktop. I can click icons using the mouse grid command, but being able to overlay numbers on the icons would be much faster. Overlaying numbers onto normal menus is buggy as well. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It also seems to hang when I try to use Messanger Live and the VR. Some of the online tutortials of people trying to demonstrate VR are failing badly, and it is not like they even notice. One thing I have yet to try, that I think may work is the ability to control media player with VR. I would often like to lay down on the couch to watch a movie on the 50 inch TV I have hooked to the computer as a second desktop. It would be nice to be able to control the ff and rewind features of media player. Of course, VR only works when it is quite in the room. Having a movie playing may clash big time. |

I've installed it and have gone through the tutorial. I will soon turn 81 and my typing has really degenerated (both in speed and error rate), so I'm hoping for at least passable results. I wonder if there's enough interest so that an ng might spring up? Allen |

Gosh, I finally found someone who is a year older than I am Hi Allen, I also fooled around a bit with the SR app, it seems to be cool, except I can't get the "scan documents" feature to work. That feature has no effect whatsoever on results. Now with Dragon, that same feature has a profound effect on how accurate the resulting text is. Mark- |
