For reasons best known to themselves, the good folks at IBM have decided to give away their voice recognition software. "You talk, It types" they say. It's very clever. It learns your voice and also makes best guesses at which word you want based on the context (spots the difference between 2, two, to and too).

loaded it up, didn't bother going through the long setup process, just wanted to play. I did the minimum setup, saying a dozen or so words for it and then started talking. The difference between what I said and what it typed was so amusing that I started laughing and yelling abuse at it. Below is what it came up with. There are quite a few phrases in there which I did say but I don't know where the rest came from.

In fairness to the system, I later went through a more detailed setup and it manages to inerpret what I say surprisingly well. about 90% of what it types is what I say now. It learns all the time from corrections too. Quite a good toy.
