i think voice technology is the way forward but i think that there is very long way to go with it. I use Voice software for text but find that i have to speak with an american acent to get it to understand it because this is where it was developed. I have no prejudice about speaking with an american accent, however it would be nice to just speak normally and have the software recognise may normal speech pattern.

I was contacted by a telephone solicitation company that not only dropped my information by a digital voice into their part of the conversation but also my reactions were interactvely responded to.

Jeez.

I tried to use the voice activation on my cell phone, when I first got it but it never worked. I’d say “call home” and it would say “calling work.” Granted, this was years ago, and I’m sure this technology has come a long way, as all technology has, but as they say “first impressions are the most lasting.” That being said, being a website developer, I should know better than to judge a piece of technology based on how it worked when it first came out.

I’m tend to share your opinion here, Barry. My dad always asked me, “Why the recently cell phones becoming complicated than ever before?” Sometimes, I was wondering that “simple is the best” too…
