I like to point out one other thing which is that virtual box doesn't really work well with speech recognition. I don't try to drive the user interface is speech cause I know better. What I'm talking about is running speech recognition in a virtual machine. For example, host Linux, guest Windows 7, NaturallySpeaking inside of guest.
For a brief period of time when VM Ware workstation good audio right, speech recognition inside of a virtual machine was great. It really worked well, much better than a native install. virtual box has never done audio right. It's full of gaps in noises that ruin speech recognition. Yes I filed the bug report (I think) any moons ago but nothing was done because there were more important problems. I suspect it would be really hard to make audio replicate across virtual machine boundaries from the host machine to the guest. A very acceptable solution would be to make USB audio work right. Today, you hear lots of gaps. I don't know if it's packets getting lost or what but in the 2.0 series, it was really in rough shape. I haven't tried the three series because I've not heard anything that said the audio input on USB was improved. If I missed it, let me know I'll be glad to run some tests. thanks --- eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
