What voice recognition software available in China?

[stephanhodges]

Is there a version of Dragon Naturally Speaking that will handle Mandarin as well as English available in China? I've seen "hints" of something like that, but couldn't find anything in the USA.

Also, any other software recommendations for voice recognition in above two languages?

I did try a couple of searches here, but didn't find anything.

Just a bump.

Has anyone used voice recognition software for Chinese, or know of any?

how about the correctness? Is it reliable? I never trust any writing or speaking input, typing is still the most reliable for me... so far... hopefully some better solutions will be out soon.

Office XP will learn your voice.

I am writing a similar program for linux right now...

You'll be surprised like I was. BTW. If anyone is interested in programming for voice or polyphonic music recognition, drop me a PM... it's actually quite fascinating and fun.
