Remember when I was bragging about getting a look at the technology in Ajay’s Juneja’s car? Damn it’s the coolest car I’ve ever ridden in (my son thinks so too, he got a look at it recently too). Well, today Michael Arrington of TechCrunch got a look and brags about the car too. His natural language speech processing system is really superb. I hear Microsoft has something similar in the works. I wonder how it compares? Is this stuff important? Oh, yeah! Bill Gates has been promising this kind of stuff for years. We’re about to see an explosion of voice recognition systems. Ajay says his is lightweight enough that he could run it on a small MP3 playing device, for instance. Oh, now you’re starting to see the commercial value of voice. “Play Black Eyed Peas Shutup” you could say. And it’d start playing.
