Voice Recognition / Greeting software

[Catalyst]

Is there software available that will allow my PC acknowledge when I speak to it. For instance it greets me on power on with "hello sir, what would you like to do today" or something for along those lines. So I can say something like "open opera" and it will say "yes sir" and open opera. I know the windows voice recognition software lets you open programs but I was wondering if there is anything more complex with programmable responses and voice selection.

I figure it wouldnt be all too hard to program, or mod for that matter. But laziness aside I want something ready made.

with the voice recognition software in vista you can do that. but it doesnt say "yes sir"

 

[adarsh]

Yeah. Kesava is right. You can use the Speech Recognition utility in Vista to control your computer.
Although, you cannot speak so directly, as there are specific commands.

i find its very useful cos you can dictate to the computer and it will write what your saying... the problem i had was that this feature only worked properly in word processors. if i wanted to say stuff and get it to write it in msn or something i had problems. but its pretty cool to use

Yeah, wouldnt you have to say "period" and stuff like that

i know about the vista one that is not exactly what I am talking about

well yes. but i dont mind. you can go pretty fast as long as you enunciate clearly.

its good for me when im too lazy to use the keyboard haha
