Speak and it shall play

ScanSoft and Gracenote are developing technology to give people access to their film and music libraries simply by voice control.

They want to give people hands-free access to digital music and films in the car, or at home or on the move.

Great idea - looking forward to seeing this implemented. I wonder how they will get round how to activate voice recognition. I mean if it is always on how does it cope with you having a conversation in the car or on the move?

I'm fascinated to see it in action. I wonder if they could develop voice recognition for TVs - I am always loosing my remote controls.
