I used to voice control an old (slow) P3 computer running Windows 2000, also, one of the Rainbow Six games on the original Xbox allowed in-game voice control of the squads and that processor was certainly very weak by today's standards. The first voice control system for a GUI came out in the late 80's, so obviously it can be done with VERY limited processing resources. I don't know where you get these ideas, simple voice recognition and control has been around a long time, worked on much, much weaker hardware than what we have today, and does NOT require much processing power. Cherry picking the keywords out of converted text is also not processor intensive at all, neither is a simple text based query to find the propor response or action. We're not talking about something like Siri here. |
The in-game voice controls however were specific sentences. There was no variation whatsoever in them. Go figure how many different ways there are of asking to upgrade your suit.
I get these ideas from remembering what those games were like, and what people are now asking for...Don't be patronising please, there's no need.
Also you say "We're not talking about something like Siri here". See the potential issue? Everyone with a 4s onwards will expect a similar experience otherwise "Why is my small phone kicking my brand new consoles ass??". Reviews will inevitably compare the two systems and therefore you have to be able to offer a similar experience at the very least.
