How good is the speech recognition Windows 8? I've become a fan of Siri on the iPhone, pretty good. I get the feeling that were pretty close to very accurate speech recognition. Between Microsoft, Google, and Apple I think we're going to get over the line really soon. This post was done entirely with Siri. The missing words or her fault. :-)


speech recognition is just as good as android EXCEPT windows doesnt recognize punctuation. It sounds like a small difference until you try to speak multiple sentences and it gets registered as a single run-on sentence


just use siri then http://myechoapp.com/


I'd like a slightly improved Siri, and almost no one wants to screw around with one device to dictate to another device. I simply want to say "Siri|Google|Cortana..." then start dictating.

With iPhone sitting on my coffee table: "Siri, display on Apple TV... open Evernote.. New Note ... "
