Speech recogntion software - recommendations?

Using voice on the phone gets reasonable results, so not down to my voice. Just tech in an early stage at that point.

Mate just happened to visit as i was shouting at the computer trying to get it to do what it was told

He thought i was hilarious...

New phones better but still has its moments though.

Tech in an early stage?! Pfft! I was at the Computer Shopper Show in 1991, where they tried demonstrating speech recognition on a PC.

Not one single one of the dozen-or-so pre-programmed commands was recognised, leaving the demonstrator screaming into the microphone, trying out different accents, and trying to sell several-hundred-pounds-worth of kit anyway, because it really does work sometimes. :rotfl:

If only we had video-phones back then...

think the vast consensus here in a twisted way suggests buy the guy speech recognition and film him, to make your own in-house version of The IT Crowd, over a few days you could have a series

It would make an idea training video for an anger management course.
