    This is the best voice recognition software out there. You can train it to recognize your voice and it is incredibly accurate. I have written papers using it. The student version is around $100. The challenge with it is it is only going to be really accurate with your voice so you would have to listen and restate what you are hearing for the program to really recognize it well.

    This seems like it could be really useful, in theory. While the video demonstrated that the program works really well with a well-enunciating woman with a fairly moderate American English accent, I would be curious to see how the program recognizes accents. I know it says that it attunes itself to individual voices, but whether that works in practice is not really apparent on the site. I guess it reminds me of that episode in IT Crowd, when Roy convinces his boss that he can converse with his computer. But still cool!

    It works fine for accents. You practice reading a set script to tune the program to your voice.

    I guess what I'm questioning is its ability to adapt to tonal changes, speech rate, etc. I know I don't pronounce things with consistency.

    The Center for Media Justice presents some great material, particularly as an entry point to undergrads on concepts of media justice and examining the ways oppression operates in a digital sphere, troubling open internet and "closing digital divides" Great stuff!
