Perl Scripting with Windows Vista Speech Recognition Them computers' all kinds of amazin'. Watch this YouT00b link of a guy writing perl code using the speech recognition of Windows Vista. The end of keyboards??
  • Ouch. That was painful.
  • Yay! It's petes!
  • I don't need no stinkin' keyboard! *gives pete a firm handshake* Yay!
  • Hooooooom, Petes Best, my old nemesisssssssssssssssssss... ,small>where the hell ya been?
  • goodly christ.
  • Good for folks who can't type for various reasons, I suppose. I'll keep my keyboard for now, since I can type much faster than I can think, and that's all I need. Plus, typing feels good. You other typists know what I'm talkin' 'bout.
  • I'm not movin' up to Vista at this point, anyway.
  • I'm not in the habit of paying to be a beta tester. That's why I'll likely run XP until 2008.
  • I'm wif you on dat
  • Are ti aweigh news. Shit delete are ti aweigh. Gold dram bricks parcheesi kites Hanging mongol curmudgeon!
  • Yes, that was painful - then again, it was Perl. Python, on the other hand, is a much better language. And not using Windows might help. Have a look. The download might be a bit slow...
  • To be fair, I don't believe he's using this application in the manner it was intended. This was meant for dictating letters, fanfiction and sad poems. It's not meant to guess what you need in other than English.
