It's true. The stern voice* definitely works...



*In what must rate as one of my weirdest techie footnote-based edits yet (18/05/2008), I'm delighted to inform you that Asus have released an update for the "Voice Command" feature of the Eee which has added single-click switching between "listening" and "hot key" modes to the (normally right-click only menu) icon on the toolbar (which is now pink).

More importantly than that, however, the update has replaced the original Star Trek computer-like voice emulator sample (oh, and how we wanted it to say "Working..." but it never did) with something that sounds like...for want of a better description...a very girlish anime character. It actually sounds delighted to repeat commands back at you.

If it ever starts giggling, I'll alert the Asus Exorcism Community immediately...
