You think they would have released a localized version where they took a good sample size of accents for something like this to be released in the UK.
On one level it was frankly a rather lame lets fill some time exercise on Watchdog...on the other hand you got on TV dude and wouldn't you like to spend some time with the lady who opens the article!
My condolences... I pretty much speak like a robot with the exception of a changing vocal pitch (Which everyone should have, lol) so it works for me, but since I'm left handed the writing doesn't go so well for me. Blasphemy!
I never had a problem with either of the Brain Training games and their voice recognition, clearly some people think pronouncing the words as "SIZZURZ" like some mad pirate is actually correct in the first place.
Ah see there is where you miss understand, for its my dog, and my mum on the vid, it cant understand her voice but because she was getting so annoyed with it, my dog got excited and started barking, the ds took the bark as a correct answer, it did it with all different words.
guru larry is cool...........How old is he??? does he go as far back as a zx81 cause i remeber programing hangman 4 like 3 weeks and missing a comma, then havin to go through it all............now that was gamin!!!!!1
I've never had ANY problem with the voice recognition. But then, I don't squawk in a nasal whine like a brummie chav when I speak, like a lot of us Brits do ;)
It's not often I watch Watchdog, but I saw this and I remember it well. I even remember your comment, but I don't remember seeing you, AT ALL =/ How odd!
I wonder what's the problem for those people. the voice recognition works pretty well for me, maybe because the german one's better than the english one. It sometimes doesn't get "schere", though...
How many regional accents are there in Germany though? and are they different enough that you can't understand some people when they speak quickly? Esepcially how some words are pronounced in the other regions.
Bavarian and eastern german accents are pretty hard to understand, especially if it's a talk between two people who natively speak that accent. Most germans don't have problems speaking hochdeutsch even if they're eastern german or bavarian, I think...
I actually speak with a English accent more then with an American accent. So I got the same problem. I do so because I know a lot of people from England. Mostly from London.
