CNN endorses mobile speech recognition.. Finally!

 

 In a nifty article today on the international CNN website, titled "Tips and Tricks for your mobile device", CNN officially endorses speech recognition, and several cool applications (some we've blogged about) and states, for example:

 "Give your thumbs a break

 Need to send an e-mail or text message but your hands are tied? Voice recognition technology has made advancements that can take the burden off your text-weary thumbs."


 Even better, via the article:
"Similarly, voice recognition software on your smart phone lets you speak into the phone and have that message show up on a computer it's synced with, says Sean Ryan, analyst for market research firm IDC".

 For a news giant like CNN to publicly endorse speech recognition, (even though they use the infamous misnomer 'voice recognition') we're cheering..
And this to us is a very important milestone in the path to ubiquitous speech recognition .. !
