Google voice search
« on: 23 October 2013, 06:33:22 PM »
I tried a voice search using a Google tool I had never noticed (shame!).
Either my laptop microphone is clogged with cat fur, or my Maltese accent is far worse than I believed.
Here are the results for me saying 'Attack from Mars Kickstarter':

summer
effects from Mars 657
ass back from the Mars Kickstarter
add back from Mr pizza
effects from My Father
how to text from my Exxon
effects from Monster Inc stock
attack from Mars

The last try is good enough, but for some reason truncated. I had to stop as I was gaining ground as my wife was fed up listening to me repeating the same phrase over and over again... :-X

Could it be due to the fact that the kickstarter actually runs under "Mars Attacks Kickstarter"? Possibly the preposition confused it to bits. ;)

That said, my tablet features voice recognition, too. I tried it once or twice for fun, but felt like quite a dolt carefully articulating my requests - worked quite well, but it would have been quicker to type it in. That said, for people requiring such assistance tools, I think it is quite a good idea and useful, if one can get it to work efficiently.

Edit: Apart from that, I just realized that this topic is so very very tangentially wargames-related that it's not fitting for this board, and therefore closed.
