Did kinect 1 worked with other languages ?

 

But yeah I don't mean when we speak Irish (Gaeilge)

Yeah I kinda figured you were speaking about accent,, not language. The thing is, if it can barely recognize an accent, what about another language.

If you look at the most recognize synthetic voice software in the world (vocaloid 3), it's perfect in japanese, it's becoming good in korean and it sucks in english.

After almost ten years, and Kinect is only 3 years old.

Well, of course it's not the same, it's recognition vs creation, but still, there is a world between making it work for one language, and then for tens of them.

Sounds impossible to me.

yeah that's why by default it tries to collect samples of voice from different region to learn what people are saying to it, I mean there are what? 25million kinects out there now and if everyone allowed those to sample their voices and pool it all together the service would get better exponentially faster.... but yeah there is something about being part of making something better without getting a pat on the back for it that people just dont wanna go for. Heck they even made an app here in Europe where you go and do some surveys which are answered into kinect just to better the software behind it and they offer achievements and avatar rewards for using that survey software.

Bit of a shame really all those failed attempts at me yelling for a change of weapon have not gone to make the system better as a whole.
