Voice activated Sketchup - it's here

Hi
99 $ for THAT ????
I've tried such tools in the past with other softwares, they've always been a waste of time, compared to shortcuts and keyboard inputs. -
Yeah, it is a bit phoney. Did you watch the demo? It doesn't appear to make modelling any faster. It must be useful for people with disabilities though. I also thought it might be useful for education or demonstrations on a projector.

hehe, as I don't mutter enough when I work

-
Can you imagin an architecture firm where a bunch of people are talking to their PC while modeling?....
It's slow to.The only benefit I can see is for people with a handicap that can only use a mouse replacement device, using their voice for keyboard related actions (VCB, etc...).
-
it supports semicolon and comma and it needs a training stage to learn your voice but still keyboard is way faster (and why a 44mb download for an installed 3mb program ?)
unless you want to have fun saying the same thing on the microphone - "push pull you stupid computer !"
-
I tried it ages ago and although it worked OK'ish I felt a complete idiot sitting at my desk spasmodically saying "LINE", "PULL", "ARC", "UNDO", "UNDO", "UNDO" etc.
-
I always listen to music while I'm working.
Apart from not being able to listen to the music properly, I imagine problems would occure when you have lyrics like:
"There's a fine line between love and facination"
or
"I wont let them push me around"
or
"You move me with a smile"It's a good thing there aren't too many songs with the word "delete" in them
. -
He he

...I hope you don't have any song containg the word 'crash' or 'splat'...

Yes I can. I'm one of them people. And that's without any voice activation software.

This is funny! "PUSH". If commands can be customised and substituted, you can even say "SHOVE" (move), "ROLL" (orbit or rotate), and bark away at you computer (pun intended).

I remember back in the days of AutoCAD 10....at work once I was so frustrated I pounded on the "ESC" key so hard I nearly shoved it through the keyboard. I wonder if you can train this software to to understand sarcasm. as in "Yeah that's right I wanted you to extrude the wall 10,000 feet... No really leave it there it looks fine.
hehe. As if my wife did not think I was mental enough wait till she hears me talking to the computer. Soon enough two big guys with a nice white jacket with really long sleeves will be visiting me.
