this is a officially my first blog using voice recognition. i hope that this voice recognition thing will work out pretty good and it will allow me to make this blogging a snap. considering having just started training my computer to recognize my voice on certain uncommon words I have to say that it’s going pretty good. i’m going to keep this post brief (’cause I’ve got some serious stuff to take care of ) but I thought you guys might like to know that this voice recognition thing is kinda neat. if you wanna see what kind of errors i’ve run into just in the short post I’m going to repeat this post by reading it and leaving that unedited below:

Hey, not too many errors in that at all. What software are you using?
exactly my thoughts… do let us know.
I would like to know also…please…please…do tell us Buster.
Just had to do that, everybody sounded anxious.
Glad to see that you are using voice recognition, you said that you wanted to.
actually after doing a little research i discovered that i didnt need to go pay several hundreds of dollars for 3rd party VRE (voice recognition engine) because M$ has built one into Windows XP. the dictation and command modes work on most Windows apps, although special features are built into M$ Office and other apps.
the main thing i discovered that you need, besides a fast computer (which everyone has nowadays even if u’ve got a $400 emachine) is a high quality “active” microphone. just because the mic says “great for speech recognition” on the label doesn’t mean it’s worth a flip. i bought a $69 USB mic/headset. supposedly the mic makes the big difference. and supposedly a USB mic is going to be exactly what you are looking for (if not a USB mic, then one that requires batteries is a good give away to the quality also!)

Thanks for the information Buster. I am going to give this stuff a try and see how much time it saves.

my pleasure. speech recognition really is an exciting area of technology. i’ve been interested in it for while. it’s just a matter of time til this stuff becomes an everyday thing… if we don’t blow each other up haha.
This is highjacking a thread 101…
Buster, you know anyone else that might wanna play FF this year? I have got 7 people, would really like 10… but could settle for 8. So we need at least 1 more, could use 3 more. Didn’t know if your brother was into football, or anyone else you might know. Let me know.
/highjack hehe
yeah i’ll talk to a couple of folks.
