    Hey guys! I was wondering, is it possible to use the voice recognition software that comes with Vista when you're on MSN Messenger? Like you talk and it would write & send instant messages for you?... I know the vista voice recognition thing is not perfect at all lol but it looks fun haha :p

    I was pleased to find out that voice recognition in Vista works remarkably well. Since you have almost complete control over your computer with voice, I see no reason why you couldn't use it to send messages in MSN Messenger. Just use your voice to switch over to the window, dictate what you want to type in, and hit that send button. It's really no different from any other program.

    I'm still trying to figure out how to play World of Warcraft with voice though. :D

    I really liked the voice recognition feature of Vista. Worked really well, until I corrupted stuff (including audiodrivers - the mic didn't work properly)
