Close, But No Cigar

I've mentioned a couple times things about Vista's Voice Recognition and Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and some of their quirks. I haven't actually shown a direct comparison of them, so I decided to do that.

I decided to take a recording that was almost all speech, and play it with the microphone set to loopback, to compare the two. I got the assistance of Krayzie for this since he uses Dragon, and I did the Vista. I chose as my test file one of the Woot podcasts that I had saved. So here are the results:

Dragon NaturallySpeaking

Is.com by Kathryn at Wednesday November that he and his bypass is brought to you by him and would eat eat eat eat in a day or a.com in time and reaching on an a voicemail comes from Boston at a caller to say I don't or ordered him to a what I do and you will need to own their own Kerry followed her back to him and you are writing their own thing I think is they are taking a guess as to how is also available as a voicemail state now as you see how you can use the same house you are going and they shot at him and asked the product you are or what is in can't Park is a habit that is due on your phone to extend anyone actually order over the phone while you're that's available to all you have to do is going to get better than to read it all yet it was written by Jim iTunes, iPhoto to answer the things that are a eating anything on them even like the photo blog about you now they are certainly less of it that is you have any discretionary funds left a budget after having bought her a so that's what you do in that didn't want you to pay phones are into is if you have a question or comment for a podcast you can had not yet.com or leave a voice message saying that you should phone homo.

Vista Speech Recognition

The produce detailed icon by guesstimates Wednesday, November 8 inning as likely as not to buy while the TV Town seat on the FBI was down to the team had not scored as someone beats time once again reach into the blindness in a nineties was now comes from Austin Massachusetts caller who wants a job I know you have a lot of workers are Maria and local version 1 to 1,000,800 E91, all of the great for all the other night and Michael of men living recall thinking on stage, just as they are surging bond * Jamal is also available is a voicemail stores say now as you obviously are now having used a man to leave us you're very kind message indicating each contest Minister Andreas monitored for example of this and do nothing has been sound alarms may have these women on your phone to resume 91 actually more over the farm well you're in luck that's available to all you have to do is no longer than a pencil ready all U.S. team's first.

Not close to each other, and, frankly, not close to the original. But quite interesting nonetheless, to see what the different engines could get. For comparison, luckily the original podcast is still available for download.
