Nice Halo reference! Microsoft already has Kinect, so they are not starting from scratch in terms of voice recognition/processing.

- mikestew 13y ago> so they are not starting from scratch in terms of voice recognition/processing. If my Kinect experience is any indicator, Microsoft may not be starting from scratch, but it has a long way to go. Kinect voice recognition works well enough to trick me into thinking that it's actually going to work this time, and fails often enough that I feel like an idiot when I finally give up and pick up a controller. I think I'm just going to unplug the damned thing, as it serves no other real purpose for me.

- jotm 13y agoHeh, Kinect. Microsoft's Speech API is over a decade old now. I remember using it on XP - it worked rather well. Both speech recognition and synthesis have significantly improved since then.
