Microsoft demos improvements to Bing voice recognition for Windows Phone

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Microsoft working on prototype Bing app for Windows Phone with improved speech recognition, less latency" data-src-height="347" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/bingwp-prototype.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">"Nothing says fun like a speech demo." Those are the words of Microsoft's CTSO Eric Rudder, not ours -- although we <i>do</i> have to agree. As you'll see for yourself in the video after the break, Microsoft held a private event for its employees a few weeks ago showcasing some of the advancements it's achieved with Bing's voice search for Windows Phone. Thanks to the work of MS' Research arm and the folks at Advanced Technology Group, voice recognition accuracy on a prototype build has now been improved by up to 15-percent on the back end and should even see a further 10- to 15-percent performance boost. In addition to this decreased error rate, the team's also greatly enhanced the speed at which the app delivers relevant results. So when can you expect this new and improved Bing app for WP? That part's unclear, but it appears Microsoft's already implementing changes on the back end to bolster current use.</div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iY4S5BQWTMA?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

Dragon Mobile Assistant 3.0 can share locations, call meeting numbers for you

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="DNP Dragon Mobile Assistant 30 can share locations, call meeting numbers for you" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dragon-mobile-assistant-3.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Nuance has long wanted Dragon Mobile Assistant to do as much of the heavy lifting as possible for common Android phone tasks. The newly available 3.0 beta is shouldering even more of the load, including responsibilities that can still involve separate apps with rivals. It's now possible to share map coordinates, or ask for someone else's location, through simple requests. The refresh will also skip the drudgery needed to dial a conference call or an important friend: set a calendar event with phone numbers and passcodes attached and Dragon can punch in the numbers itself, right on cue. As a final touch, the upgrade brings truly hands-free text messaging that includes both spoken incoming messages and voice-dictated replies. The beta remains free and will work with Android 2.3 or above; if Google Now and S Voice aren't pulling enough weight, there might be some relief through the source link.</div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OrURr4ddEZw?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
