Oh. Sorry. Like a transcription device; a voice recorder that will output text, either directly or via software on a computer. I can see that I chose a lousy way to name it. It's not recognizing a voice, it's recognizing spoken words and turning them into text. Although, I believe the algorithms are "smart" and learn a particular voice's idiosyncrasies with time.

Thanks for pointing out my vagueness. Seriously. :o

Now, experts... please report in. :)

Dave, that sounds like speech to text software. Google might have this available soon and I'm sure something like it already exists... check with Darpa or NSA. :rolleyes:

Seriously though... Google search returned:

I've heard of this one but never used it... the video makes it look pretty impressive.

Also try searching for voice recognition software.

Hmmm, voice activated SAW? :D

"Open SAW."

"Open recent SAW project session."

"SAW... complete project while I go to lunch." :p

I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

SAW project session terminated, Dave...but I have detected two possible bugs for you. Burp once; proceed to medicine cabinet; and ingest two Tums.
