Windows Vista: Speech recognition accuracy reaches 95-99.x%

If you want to know more about what Microsoft plans to use voice in its Windows Vista (the always in beta operating system), here are some hints that Oliver Scholz, part of the Windows Vista Speech Recognition team, has given in a recent interview.
The whole user experience part of Windows Vista Speech Recognition has had many improvements since Beta 2. These improvements are on every level, from the speech recognition engine to the user interface. The control panel has been cleaned up a little, the flow of certain scenarios has improved, and we’ve even added some commands, like the Move Mouse command, which moves the mouse pointer to a specific element on the screen.
Speech Recognition accuracy for Vista should be between 95 – 99.x%. Accuracy is usually measured in terms of dictation accuracy. Commanding accuracy is usually not measured, because it’s almost always 99% or higher. Even if commanding accuracy isn’t 100%, the user is still in control when using Windows Vista Speech Recognition.
Remember that Ray Ozzie-powered Microsoft will focus on unifying communications through a set of different servers and voice recognition systems. Development commanded by voice might turn to be the corner stone of the new operating system.
