Unfortunately, I've gotten slightly too used to its voice recognition, in a very short amount of time. At least when I'm in that mindset. Voice recognition is really convenient for me with how my computers are set up; it's not that convenient to type on my Tablet PC given how my desktop takes up my entire desk space (with its two monitors), so I probably actually will be using it; it's convenient to have homework in one computer and references and the assignment in the other. (And by keeping my homework on my Tablet, I take it with me to class- if I forget to print out an assignment, I can switch the most recent copy to a jump drive and print it off a lab computer with relatively little trouble.) But getting used to voice recognition can be a problem. Let's go back a few hours to when I decided I wanted a hard copy of the general voice command reference.
"What can I say?"
ding!
"Maximize that."
ding!
"Show all."
ding!
"Print."
doot?
"1." (It wasn't sure whether I meant Print or Print Preview, so it labeled the buttons with numbers to ask for clarification.)
ding!
"OK."(Numbered commands have to be confirmed.)
ding!
"Print."
doot?
"2." (This was ambiguity between Print and Print Settings.)
ding!
"OK."
ding!
*whirrr... shoof, shoof, shoof* (well, what do you think a laser printer sounds like, if not whirr shoof shoof shoof?)
*rustle rustle*
"Staple that."
blat?
"Staple that."
blat?
"St- wait, never mind."
blat?
"Stop listening."
donk!
*kchunk*
Maybe I need to implement voice recognition on my stapler next.
