However, Vista’s enrolment system, which is necessary for most users, is less effective than Dragon’s. KeyStone Speech Tutor has been developed to assist people who are having difficulty in getting a sufficiently good level of recognition to compensate for this. An important issue for many potential users of voice recognition is that it is provided as part of the operating system and there is no extra cost for the facility. For this reason, it is often wrongly considered to be of little value. A microphone must be provided to use the Vista voice recognition system.
