Say 'Aaahhh'
Voice recognition software can be clunky, especially when trying to navigate a graphical interface. Researchers are experimenting with a vocal joystick that uses consonant and vowel sounds to move and click the mouse. It's portrayed as a more efficient alternative to speech recognition. The concept is interesting, although I'm not sure I'd want to use such an interface on a regular basis. An hour's worth of gaming would leave me with a sore throat.
