Video Games: Tom Clancy’s End War Is Voice-Controlled
Computer and Video Game Publisher Ubisoft has released Tom Clancy’s End War, which is controlled by Speech Recognition Technology.
Well, sort of.
From a review on bit-tech.net:
“The developer, Ubisoft Shanghai, has cheated a little though. Rather than use the software to recognise actual words, it is used to recognise the sounds that make up those words – the system used looks out for particular sounds that go to make up a word. This cunningly gets around the need for a large amount of training generally required with standard speech recognition software, and also gets around the problem of accents: the main sounds of a word are essentially the same, regardless of your accent. The problem has been simplified even further by only recognising a handful of words – about eighty or ninety, according to Ubisoft.”
