Re: [Audyssey] end of keyboards, was Throwaway Tech
I agree dark. some of that has been done with search but its not good say with multipul items say I want shades of doom it will find the first one it sees which is usually 1.2 but not 2.0. Or if I ant smuglers games to play it may not bring up all the searches I want and sometimes it takes a while to come up. Also on the odd ocations in windows I have had the index corrupt and have to rebuild it. Also is the point that if you index an external device like a drive if something changes it has to reindex everything again. At 08:59 a.m. 27/10/2014, you wrote: Hi Tom.

I agree with you phill there will be a keyboard or the ability to use one but a lot of things are like that the x box kinect system for example I must say if it ever got to gaming imagine you have to train for say an hour or something and imagine you get on your cycle, you could run a race or tourniment and potentually get cash win, crash, and a lot of other things. or play sports with full sound, my cousin already uses some of this tech at his gym, training his muscles and entertaining himself, posting videos to the cloud, and online scores.

Re: [Audyssey] end of keyboards, was Throwaway Tech
Hi Phil, I suppose that is always possible. I'm seeing more and more voice dictation all the time, and although I can't really use it myself I do see the mainstream using it as a replacement for keyboard input in a few years. I hadn't thought about that issue before, but as voice dictation improves people are naturally going to use that over physical input devices like keyboards and touchscreens. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] end of keyboards, was Throwaway Tech
I think Josh has a point. I tend to use dictation on my Iphone sinse my bluetooth keyboard is a bit large to carry and dictation is easier than the onscreen keyboard, however it tends to be less than efficient and often I have to go back with the on screen keyboard and edit. Then there is the fact that with my typing speed I actually can type as quickly as I would speak, indeed a few years ago when I utterly lost my voice I was able to communicate just by typing and having supernova set to speak every word that I typed. That is why I do not write e-mails, or play If or muds on my Iphone, sinse for efficiency a keyboard is best.

Hi Tom.

While there will probably still be a touch screen, likely if people are used to speaking to their computers this probably will be a less efficient interface for accessing everything, sinse if people have been talking to their machines how will they know under which set of sub menus say control center settings is, so people will need a way of conveying information to the computer in a wway that is like speech but in situations where speech is not possible. Bring back the C prompt! :D. Whether people will be using keyboards or some varient of an on screen keyboard I don't know, but if computers get sophisticated enough so that speech becomes the medium of interaction and people are no longer having to use a language of learnt symbols and nested information, well what is like speech but not speech, writing! :D. And things go full circle :d. Of course I'm not sure on this. I suspect that sinse most sighted people still respond to images over writing the gui will still be around in a usable form, even if the gui is more limited than the speech access, but still it'd be a nice thought and rather ironic.

Re: [Audyssey] end of keyboards, was Throwaway Tech
There will always be keyboards around even if there only virtual. Just like cameras, you may have one on your phone, but they still make dedicated cameras for those jobs that need them.

Most people in a few years will be using dictation, letting their laptop or tablet do the typing. Most games will use voice input and output, or physical gesture identification.

Re: [Audyssey] end of keyboards, was Throwaway Tech
Hi Tim, I agree. I'm pretty sure keyboards will still be around and available in some form. Either a virtual one on the device or a physical one that can be connected to the device, but I hardly think they'll totally go to voice dictation. for one thing as others have said dictation isn't very good in crowded areas such as stores, offices, or a noisy living room so people will need another reliable form of entry for their devices that isn't effected by background noise. Another reason could be various speech impediments. It isn't something that applies to everyone, of course, but there are millions of people who have troubles speaking in some form or another. Some people are born def and are unable to speak or their speech is a little unclear. There are people who stutter which screws up voice dictation. There probably are others that aren't coming to mind right now and for those people there will need to be an alternative input method besides speech. What I in vision happening is voice dictation methods will improve, become a common or standard way for people to input data into their device, but blue tooth keyboards etc will still be available for those who want or need it. The technology just won't phase out of existence unless there is truly an equivalent input method, and right now I don't see one that works as well as a keyboard for all situations. Cheers!
