Be Careful what you post
You've probably seen those TV commercials that warn people that what they post on the web becomes public property. I've also seen news stories where stuff has come back to haunt people in job interviews and such.
It wasn't as bad as that but Richard Sprague recently posted "Call Me" where he showed all of the different phones on his desktop ( he has more phones than I do but I've got more monitors). The last paragraph lists Richard's Response Point phone number and an invitation to call it.
I guess you have figured out by now that I took him up on the invitation. I haven't seen or talked with Richard since May of 2006 so I thought what the heck - let's give this thing a try. I haven't seen one (other than in pictures) and I hadn't used one so I was anxious it hear it in action and I called it one day last week,
The call was answered by the Response Point and I'll have to say that it sounded great and the speech reco was excellent. It asked me who I wanted to speak to. When I said "Richard Sprague" it understood me on the first attempt and made the connection. I was a little surprised when Richard answered his phone as I figured he would be too busy to talk. We talked for two or three minutes and while we were both using VOIP phones the quality of the call was excellent.
I sure wish I had a Response Point system to try out here at GotSpeech Central as I would love to really put it through the paces. But since I don't have access to one then I'll have to say that on the basis of the call to Richard I think Microsoft has a winner with Response Point.
