Do you mean "foul" or "fowl", as in what a chick?:D

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. I thought something didn't look right.

I was playing around with this voice recognition stuff today. Oh man, I got mad that dern exercise was so long! Could help me out once I get it straight. Anybody else use it? I'm not sure it's gonna be worth messing with from the first dictations I tried out.

I bought one of those voice recognition progs once. Once! It was a pain to use and I spent more time correcting errors so I gave up the cause.
 
We started using a commercial version in 2003-2004. Worked well with a restricted vocabulary. Are you using Dragon?

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. I was just trying more stuff.

No John, I don't think I am. It's just something that came with the laptop. It's an Acer. So I don't know.

It has some usable features. It's pretty slick where you can just say,

"Open Wordpad" ...and there it is. entertaining if nothing else.
 
I just noticed something else. There is an ongoing design flaw in the sound circuitry on the PC's, well, I can't afford the super duper ones like a 1200 dollar Dell, so I don't know if that includes all of them. But as some of you know I like to listen to audio streams. I'm listening to Jack McLamb right now on "Network 2" www.gcnlive.com. Keeps my mind excercised when I take a break...lol.

Anyway, I just turned the audio all the way down and it still shows up on the bar graph for the voice recognition. I also noticed that when I turned on my Virtins Oscilloscope software. I had the exact same situation with my old Toshiba laptop. It might be a deliberate phenomena since it is more than like multiplexed together through a hub, but I would like to see this corrected. Perhaps I could get me a contract job out out of it. Hmmmmm

Exactly what I had. Do not remember version as I uninstalled it.

My sound card used was the Audigy Platinum.

A $1200 Dell is nothing more than a rebadged $350 refurbished eMachines piece of garbage (IMHO). There's nothing "super duper" about that!:p

About what I figured. I just got me an Acer for about $625 at Brandsmart and an extremely high tech friend of mine said they were very good. His name is Karl Schwarz. A CEO of an international nano-tech company. I may be working for him soon. If I do I have to move to Vienna Austria.
