Re:Why speech recognition on Linux will kill Windo (Score 2, Interesting)

Yea, we will all speak BASH. Seriously, the real problem is not speech recognition, it is in the area of speech understanding. A good example from an SR book from my college days.. "Please plant some more tulips." or was it... "Please plan sum ore two lips." It is not a trivial computer problem to resolve this. In fact, I would venture to say that once you have an algorythm to resolve the above then you probably also have a "sentient" computer that can pass the Turing test. That would be pretty sweet as you will have solved many of other problems in the world.
