The Future is Now

I've always thought the neatest thing would to be able to talk to my computer and have it type out what I say.  As it turns out technology has advanced to the point where that dream is becoming a reality.  A few months ago I bought a new computer with Microsoft Vista, I also bought a software program that was speech recognition, so that I could do just that, talk and have it type for me.  As it turns out I got the product home, after looking at it and seeing that was OK for Microsoft Vista to put it in.  Then a window said is not compatible with Microsoft Vista 64.  Well crap and that's what I have, vista 64, so I spent almost a hundred bucks on a product that I can't return. I see it's good for Windows XP.  I can't do that because the disk is a DVD rom disk not a CD-ROM my computer does not have a DVD rom.  So months go by, I'm surfing the web is usual looking at the voice recognition software thinking there may be a free one I can download.  I still have the headset.  I find out that Microsoft Vista has that program or a program like it already built in.  How cool is that.  So now I've looked in my computer found the program,.  Seems pretty easy.  I talk in headset and words come upon the screen.  The only problem with it is that it doesn't know my voice yet.  So  I can sit here and talk to it, but it doesn't recognize every word I say, but the more talk to it and the more it correct it, the better it knows my voice.  I already did my homework using it today it took a little while but I got it done.  And now I figure I test it out for my blog here and see what I can get it to do.  Already as I talk I can see many things, that I have to correct, course you don't see them as by now,  it's already been corrected. (at least I think I got them all)


PS.  I wouldn't ask this program out while drinking.  Slurred speech does not equal good  voice recognition.  Although I've only had two shots of Amaretto, and I think I did pretty good. lol
