Recording your thoughts with Microsoft Recite.

  • Artikkeli

How many times you found yourself writing in little pieces of paper, trying to find a place where you can record your ideas, calling to yourself to leave a message in your voicemail, sending emails to you (autospam?)?

And then how much time did you spend trying to put that information together?

Well, it looks like Microsoft Recite comes to help us to put some order in the chaos.

Microsoft Recite is a search technology for your voice that runs on Windows Mobile* devices. With Microsoft Recite, you can use your voice to easily store, search and retrieve the things you want to remember, where and when you need them.

Well, its voice search makes it easy to retrieve your stored thoughts and notes by using voice pattern matching. It analyzes the patterns in your speech and finds matches between two recordings -- the notes you stored on your phone, and the search you do using your voice. With Recite you can store your spoken notes, and then later retrieve the notes you want based on a match with your search term(s). This is different from speech recognition, which has to accurately convert spoken words to application-readable input.
Geeked-out version: Microsoft Recite analyses speech features using an ensemble of supervised and unsupervised classifiers and employs a noise robust approximate indexing and scoring of generic symbol streams for matching
