Speech Recognition in Silicon
Ben Sullivan writes "NSF-funded researchers are working to develop a silicon-based approach to speech recognition. "The goal is to create a radically new and efficient silicon chip architecture that only does speech recognition, but does this 100 to 1,000 times more efficiently than a conventional computer." Good use of $1 million?"
I can just see the anonymous cowards shouting first post at their pcs now

I work on product X and think of all the possibilities (list slightly feasible but most likely never going to happen features).
:)
If this is really true what they're saying then people should put tons more money into product X!
But then again maybe I'm just talking up product X to make sure I get my money
I've just signed legislation that'll outlaw Russia forever. We'll begin bombing in five minutes.
Any other cool ideas out there?
Yes.
Peter Gibbons : What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence : I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons : That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence : Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
Peter Gibbons : Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence : Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons : Good point.

Computer. Computer? Hello, Computer. Just use the keyboard. Keyboard. How quaint.
It is an interesting concept, but do we really need this?
We already have voice recognition, this tech will just bring it to everything. You can talk to your keys, your toaster, your watch. But will they have anything interesting to say back?
What would you do if you had 1 million dollars?
You mean besides 2 chicks at the same time...
Refer your friends, get a free ipodThis is completely false. This is not a sig.
And imagine how much embarassment could be saved alone by correcting idiotic mispellings of simple words like "speech".
It could relieve me from having to type my password ... oh, wait ...
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
Walk into someone's office: "Computer! Format C:"
...richie - It is a good day to code.
Now, disgruntled ex-employees won't return to the office to "go postal", so to speak. They'll just run up and down the hallway yelling "File! Exit! No!".
National Security Agency: "We did, and they are hooked to the national phone system."
NSF, to me, translates to "Non-Sufficient Funds" or a bounced check.
I can tell you from personal experience that this method of "funding" only works for the short term.

But by removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, such a device would cause more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.
Don't blame me, I voted for Durga.
As it is, it's a tossup whether I prefer speaking with a machine or a customer service rep in India. Won't take much for a machine to surpass most of them in English speech recognition. (Alright, to be fair, there are some indians I've gotten on the phone who have been at LEAST as good as the typical US based rep. But that's a minority.) Anything to advance the technology.

All misspellings and grammatical errors in the above post are intentional and part of my artistic expression.
That is good thought! The thing software which is the simple problem where existing translation that it is developed applies algorithm to speech of real time very is healthy! Gorgeousness!
P.S. I used Babelfish for translating this post.
I wish that my inferiority complex were as good as yours.

Yeah, there is a difference, I find the first query much more natural. I think I need to get out more.

Yeah, well, when you are an oudated nerd you have to get your kicks somewhere.
