Speech Recognition...It's Nifty

...I'm writing this post using the speech recognition built into Windows Vista.  It's actually quite nifty.  It's sort of like working in a Star Trek setting.  The only problem is that accuracy is not perfect so at end up having to correct quite a few words after I say them.

Nonetheless, it's fun.  I am actually using a microphone right now, but I also have the headset which comes in handy, courtesy Skype.  I'm actually going to go get that have set right now...

Now I'm using a headset, which is a little bit easier to use.  But still, the inaccuracy remains, reminding me that I am not in Star Trek.  For example, I kind of got messed up just now...  It took me a long time just to italicize Star Trek...

Ah well, we aren't in the twenty-second century yet, and I'm typing this last paragraph. But nonetheless, speech recognition is pretty neat...
