More on voice command
For the life of me I cannot understand why Microsoft windows vista voice recognition software will not allow me to type information into my 1,000,000,000,000 software. While when I said "type TRILLIaN" it but I said 1,000,000,000,000, as in the number. I was even positive that that was our number I mean honestly here goes around saying the number TRILLI an all the time only at 1:00 of the store and pick up a trillion apples are men at the public a trillion checks the other day.
I'm constantly impressed by this voice recognition software. Already it figured out What I meant when I was saying TRILLIan. Granted it still spelling of the funny but it did pick it up very quickly. TRILLIaN is not even a real word I suppose Microsoft had it in their heads that with a number of new words being created every day on the Internet you would need to be able to learn them very rapidly.
I have discovered some bugs in the system. For example Windows media player ceased to allow me to commanded by voice last night for no apparent reason. This is disturbing to me because I would like to use this new version of windows as a base for my media center PC I'll be building in my college suite at case next semester (I just sneezed and all it did was beat the very smart) and windows media player is likely to be the centerpiece. I've tested this new version with winamp last night I wasn't able to select items in win by using the "click"command, which is fairly disappointing. I'm going to look into the programming SDK to see if I can feasably create a working for is controlled winamp version.
Another thing that's been bothering me is the difficulty of use of the new Internet Explorer seven with this voice commands software. For example I can just say address bar and then give it a web address in fact I have yet to go to figure out a way to navigate to a non bookmarked address via voice at all. This seems like a pretty basic functionality that Microsoft should have built in if they wanted this to be a good test of the software. Additionally I tried to install AOL instant messenger, but alas I had no success, some crap about the web messaging software being out of date.
More to come, next up: virtual folders. This is where the real fun begins.
