pcworld.idg.com.au — Watch what you say about your computer: It's getting better at understanding your voice.Nuance Communications says the latest version of its speech-recognition software can achieve -- with some speakers -- 99 percent accuracy out of the box, without a "training" session to familiarize the software with how a particular person talks.

Yes but can't you just pre-steal it?

I used the 8th version of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking and it wasnt that good.I dont know maybe they really improved the code this time.

You mean sort of like the "99% accurate speech recognition breakthrough" that's been announced every year for the past 20 years? And yet somehow we're still waiting?

Be very careful with your terms. There are two different kinds of speech recognition: one from a predetermined list, like an address book or set of options, and one from the dictionary. The former is much, much easier -- and therefore has a higher success rate -- than the latter.If you have only used speech recognition from a specific set of options then you are missing out on the full frustration!

@blackjack75: Wouldn't be the first time. Happens quite frequently actually. Not as often with software but with movies.. I've had Sum of all fears playing in my dvd player a month before it was released to theaters.
