I was in Seattle this past week, and I got to thinking about the advancements in speech recognition. As I was thinking, I started wondering if the speech recognition functionality was any good in Windows Vista. So I decided to give it a try myself.

Setting up is very easy. The process is completely wizard driven. You select the type of microphone that you're going to use, and follow the directions that are given as you walk through the training process.

The setup and the training take about 15 minutes. Then you can start using speech recognition to do anything from dictating an email, creating a blog post, or controlling Windows. It is actually pretty cool!

So, I used Windows Vista speech recognition to create this blog post. It took me about 10 minutes to do so, but it's kind of fun to not have to type and just be able to kick back in your chair and relax.

What has been your experience with Windows Vista speech recognition or your favorite speech recognition software?

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.

Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Thanks!

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

Hey - nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.This made very glad
