Windows Vista Speech Recognition Tested - Perl Scripting
scrubadub1
A 2007 video of someone trying to write Perl scripts using Windows Vista speech recognition, with comically bad results. The footage shows the recognizer repeatedly mangling commands.
Cited as the classic, unintentionally hilarious example of early voice recognition failing, and of how dictation used to feel.
