What's funny, to me, is that twenty years ago I remember reading that voice recognition was just around the corner.

It's a lot harder nut to crack.

Speech recognition is very difficult to crack. I'm guessing they'll crack it around the same time they start actually creating real rudimentary A.I.'s.

What's funny, to me, is that twenty years ago I remember reading that voice recognition was just around the corner.

I remember a demo of voice recognition ca. 1979. It started out at about 90% accuracy (recognizing *key names* only), but degraded rapidly once it started interpreting the spoken word "backspace" as other keys, adding immensely to the speaker's frustration.
