My friend Cielito and I hung out in Ajay’s car with voice controlled functionality. His speech recognition system is set it up with 4 mics, two of which capture his voice and the other two cancel noise interference. With the windows wide open in traffic, Ajay was able to boss around his media player to search and play specific music files and adjust the volume with voice commands that left his hands free to drive. My favorite part was when he tried to confuse his computer and the computer started asking clarifying questions! With a full-on snazzy computer in the trunk accessible through the 7-inch touchscreen, Ajay’s project is just beginning. What other applications will he find for the voice controlled computer in his car?

I had a similar setup in my Ford AU Falcon back in 2004, 10′000 mp3’s using Visual Basic 6 and the Microsoft speech SDK, select by artist, title or both

My biggest problem was road noise but now after seeing this new microphone i’m keen to give it another go.
