Wii rumour: voice recognition

So, yeah. Interesting idea, but... I dunno. I've had too much trouble with voice recognition in the past to get excited about it...

If it is true, then I'll give it a go, but I'm sceptical to say the least.

What word is that?
Anyway it would be interesting to have voice on the wii.

It's one huge melting pot! See, it's not about success, dying in the streets, who's better, who's not! I just want to be a part of it! I realized that even if I've no connections, no talent, even if I'm one big loser, I want to use my hands and feet to think and move, to shape my own life!

He's not fully trusting the rumor.

Maybe he was questioning the spelling? But, that is the correct English way to spell the word. I've heard that the American variant uses a k, which is illogical.

Anyway, a microphone does seem to be the way Nintendo is headed - with the microphone on the DS - but full-blown voice recognition may be a step too far for a home console.

Actually if you think about it, the letter "C" is illogical as it just makes sounds made by other letters, but hey who really gives a !@#$%?

Anyway, voce recognition has never gone well in the past and I would be suprised if this worked with any sort of regular accuracy. It will be interesting to see. Really though, if the console is going to launch at as low a price as we are all hoping features like this will be the first to get cut in order to save money... Maybe it will be added later? We'll see...

You guys forget, Nintendo builds everything to the MAX. They wouldn't install something that dosen't work very well, now would they?

It's not far-fetched seeing as the technology has existed for a while, but I don't forsee many games using it. Voice regonition just seems foolish when people see you jumping around yelling at your TV when it's that much easier to jump around and push buttons at your TV. That and it would be a bad idea to try yelling at night when irritable people who control what food you get to eat don't want to be awoken.

If they have a mic then they could well be working on proprietory voice recognition software. Thery did it with the DS, why not the Wii? It doesn't have to be built into the console, but could be given to developers. Although they could include a base version of it, with the opera browser ;).

A wii Mic would be awsome...Counter Strike anyone? Voice chat in games would be an unecessary waste of bandwith for anything else that Time critical games I think. But still, this would be cool. Why would they convert it to text though? I think just having the pure mic with voice would be a more effecient and faster use of processor power than actually converting it. Not sure with this is called voice recognition. Shouldnt it be voice conversion? And I also doubt nintendo would do this judging on what happened to the DS. They are way over protective, you can't even chat with other players on Metroid Prime with text or voice or anything unless they are your friends. No good old online system(list games and have users join rather than having to "search for players" for 5 minutes just to play one game. The only customisable thing is your name pretty much. So I kinda doubt this if they make the WII as protectiive as the DS.

The Wii is different though. It will have a lock system so you can only play mature and teen games if you go into parental controls. All online games from T-M should have voice chat.
