Handwriting recognition in Vista???
Gotta try that.
I tried Handwriting recognition softwares in XP, and they were horrible.
(Or maybe my handwriting is too horrible :D)

Yes,I have seen that vid way back which is too funny..Especially when he says the word-"Print" in diff kinds of tones :lol: ..& Vista speech recognition aint that bad due to presence of a bundle of easy to use commands.
The only difficult part comes especially when typing a document using Vista speech Recognition..which is shown in the video..I have tried it many a times and have failed miserably..But Vista speech Recognition is designed for People who speak English in UK accent;)
But there are ways where u can go under a Voice Training which is totally 4 hrs where Vista identifies/recognizes ur voice accent :)

Currently I am using Dragon Naturally Speaking s/w(Trial version)from Nuance which works under Vista and also has support for Indian English:p.It works like a charm but is meant only for typing documents,text anywhere and not controlling OS navigation such as Vista Speech Recognition:)

Even i am using Dragon naturally speaking 9.5 With Vista and its really good.
Though it says there is no need of the voice training and one can start directly dictation but i suggest it.
Never used Microsoft voice recognition but been using sucessfully Microsoft Voice commands on windows mobile 6.
Still i dont think there is any significant evolution in voice recognition. May be another 2 yrs from now..
