Actually, it's pretty difficult for people as well. Computers have the problem in that they don't handle context *changes* very well. People "correct" what they hear, transparently, and often with amusing (or distressing) results. We also pretty poor at saying what we actually mean, especially when we're distracted. > I assume that one could get much better accuracy by > implanting small sensors into the muscles that are involved in speech.

That'll make "WinCE" all the more appropriate. -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
