I am all about bringing to light some of Microsoft's misfortune, heck why not? Below is a video of Microsoft demonstrating their voice recognition software, and it totally not working.
Microsoft blamed "ambient noises" for the problem, but did you hear anything prior to the test failing? More here.
Too funny.

Oh Microsoft, the place is just not the same without Bill. Was that Steve Carell giving the news? ;-)

Now that's a good way to start the day. Thanks for the laugh.

This sounds familiar. Microsoft had a similar experience many years ago when voice recognition was less mature.
15 years ago we had voice recog programs that worked much better than the results in this video.....
