Vista voice-recognition feature needs work

If its performance during a demonstration last week at Microsoft's annual Financial Analyst Meeting is any indication, a voice-recognition feature in Windows Vista is not quite ready for prime time.
An interactive voice response system in Vista that is supposed to allow a user to dictate text into a Microsoft Word document did not work as expected at the event last Thursday. It failed to correctly recognize what the Microsoft team member was saying on several occasions, the results inspiring laughter from the crowd of analysts and journalists attending the day-long meeting.
