Speech Recognition

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Is Windows Vista speech recognition any good? Chris has used almost every speech recognition package, and he has yet to be impressed.

The speed recognition software built into Windows Vista isn't that bad. Of course, it isn't that great either. It does a fair job as long as you have a quality microphone and you speak clearly – no thick New York accents here.

Ten Things I Love About Windows Vista

I’m not blind, folks.

ReadyBoost. This feature really does make Vista infinitely more responsive. You must pick up an Apacer HT203 2GB stick or two – immediately. I hate its casing, but I can’t argue with the Apacer’s speed. ReadyBoost isn’t just optional – it’s necessary. They should bundle an Apacer 2GB with every copy of Windows Vista Ultimate, IMHO.
