Hi,

It could be, but highly unlikely as every speech recognition needs a bit of
training so that the operator 'teaches' his/her voice to the system
otherwise it would not easy to recognise words. Like the standard Vista
knows a kind of American accent so that if somebody in London would talk to
his computer it would not understand that pronunciation. But AFAIK there are
other issues with voice recognition. With mobile phone you only could teach
couple of words to ring someone or take a call. But you have to teach it
again. I do not know too much details about it but as far as i can remember
you need to recognise fraction of sounds and then you will have the sequence
of a word which you can find in a table.
