Jason Dunn reviews Microsoft’s latest version of Voice Command. The new version really seems to have been updated with enhanced Bluetooth features more than anything else.
While I’ve used Voice Command in previous incarnations, I’m not sure if this upgrade is for me. While the added Bluetooth support takes care of many complaints in that area, I was hoping for more enhancements of what you can use voice for in the program.
Still, if you have your hands full all the time, or have adapted to the way voice command works, this would be a very useful upgrade in its own right.

There are so many useful ways that voice and speech recognition technology will help everyone. For example, you can use voice recognition through your cell phone to call your DVR and tell it to start recording your favorite show.
Or, how about this:
User: “microwave”
Microwave: “yes”
User: “cook 5 minutes on medium”
Microwave: “ok”
This technology is really easy to implement and will become ubiquitous.
