I live to fight another day
Yes, I am writing yet another post about a voice recognition software. I haven’t had such a love hate relationship since warheads candy . Remember that candy that was so sour that if you ate more than three pieces it would eat off the entire of roof of your mouth? Not that I know from personal experience or anything. I’ve spent half an hour trying to make my computer understand the words microscope, not that I’ll ever use the word microscope but I would like to have that option. I am trying to teach it how to understand me but instead it is teaching me have to talk like a robot. You’ve won this round voice recognition software.
Update: I went back & proofread this post & after making all the changes have decided that Voice Recognition Software just isn’t worth it, not yet anyways.

I hate voice recognition software. Mainly because sometimes when I’m calling from work, I don’t have to talk to some computer. Ugh. I’d rather push buttons until I get a live person.

I have a feature on my mobile that supposedly will call whomever I tell it to. I’ve found that I must speak with a completely flat tone, clearly annunciating everything but with no inflection. Even then it usually tells me to repeat it slower so I stand in a crowd sounding like a robot who’s batteries are dying.
“Call home”
“Call…. home”
“Call…… ….. ….. home”
Then I just get frustrated and dial it myself. Not much of a convenient time saver.

I have Naturally Speaking and have stopped using it for a whole collection of reasons. At one time when I was activly using it it was working OK at best. Then I got a cold and it because useless. I have been to lazy to retrain myself in using it so i am back to typing.
I get frustrated with issues like capitalization and company names, they never seem to work out.
