eDigital MXP100 with Voice Control 150
An anonymous reader writes: "Here is a lengthy review of eDigital's 1GB flash MP3 portable that is as much a review on Lucent's remarkable speech recognition technology VoiceNav as it is on the player. VoiceNav offers speaker-independent recognition, meaning it doesn't have to learn each individual user's particular speech patterns like IBM's ViaVoice. Just say the name of a music track into the player's microphone and VoiceNav pulls up and plays that song. In ideal conditions the reviewer was able to twice run through a list of 14 song titles without fail. This included titles with "non-real word" band names like Sum41 and U2. Neat technology that could make its way into PDAs soon. The player is a pretty good one too, using IBM's Microdrive for storage."

Test 2 - Walking outside with occasional traffic passing by. All track names said in proper order. - Result: very good to excellent

I won't say the problems are fundamentally different, because the fundamentals are much the same between the two domains; but nearly every detail of the implementation of those fundamentals is likely to be different.

And believe me we're getting to the point where training isn't needed for dictation either
