Vocal recognition software was good enough to pick up numbers and lightweight enough to fit on a phone of that size in 1988?

- digisign 5y agoNo, it is a design demo. Probably why actually using the phone is shown thru animation. The reporter conveys the story that the technology exists already, but I think they are way too optimistic about size/power. Compare to the "old fashioned" mobile brick it is compared to. I remember my dad purchasing a speech recognition package in the early 90s, but it ran on an expensive 486 desktop machine and was reasonably but not accurate enough for his uses.

- kingcharles 5y agoThere was early voice recognition. I remember having something on my PC in 1989. Here is a 1987 device for the C64: https://youtu.be/CiSUfmSEXAA?t=937 https://youtu.be/CiSUfmSEXAA?t=937
