Why hasnt a Voice Recognition -> Text been developed yet?

[Guest Myke]

Why hasnt a program like dragon talk been developed for this or any (to my knowledge) yet? A program that lets you talk into the phone, recognize what you say, and then write it down as text? The phone seems like the perfect medium for this, its already got a built in microphone!

- 5-10 minute voice collaboration the 1st time you use it

- easily write TEXT notes by holding down a key & sync notes with outlook notes

- easily write sms messages and emails with your voice.

the only setback I can see is the actual program which would be a few megs.. but phones are coming out with more and more memory, i dont think that should be a problem. i personally think microsoft and software companies think "well it's working right now, why add anything extra"

what do you guys think? i think it would be a sweet extra feature!

i think the cpu would be a problem... when training/using the PC version ur cpu useage flies up to 100% when you speak.

Would be a very good idea though!

never even thought of it! what a brill idea! not sure the spv has got the power though.

The phone has nowhere near the CPU power or memory to handle this. Think about it - you need to take in the sound wave and match it up to various sound waves of words - thats a LOT of processing power and a LOT of memory for the program/dictionary.

They couldn't even get voice dialing to work (which is why it wasn't included)!

[Guest James]

good idea though!

full voice recogintion isnt really possible (it isnt so much down to the cpu usage, but that size of the files needed, i think dragon needs around 100mb for installation).

But voice dialing is possible, and by the looks of it soon, check here. And this IS coming out on smartphone :wink:

Thats Fantastic Midnight, but i couldn't find a mention about Smartpgone development are you sure?

[Guest midnight]

bah, we can play doom on it, im sure the technology will soon arise where we can dictate to our phone

[Guest midnight]

like i said its nothing to do with technology but the size of the dictionary required to have good speech recognition.
