Our experience with voice recognition is that it still needs a very closely coupled microphone of known quality. Ambient background and noise messes it up thoroughly.
Although this kind of device could be of help, it isn't really a "solution" because even though you know what you told it to do, you don't know if it understood properly. By that I mean the entire system. We have to keep it understood that any really good accessibility system demands the same level of feedback that sightlings get. You gotta know what the machine you're running is up to, not just what you told it to be up too. Just a rehab engineer's diatribe I too have and do put up with devices that are just barely runnable sometimes because of a lack of properfeedback, but I don't love them. Like that "video level" from Zercon, If I really needed it, I'd hate it. diatribe ends, for now! <GRIN> Tom
