Delayed for over a year, the recent update to the Xbox’s Dashboard has finally brought voice recognition to Australia – apparently ‘G’day mate’ is fairly hard for technology to understand.
While the rest of the world was happily shouting at their Xbox’s to play games or movies as far back as November 2010, Australian’s were having to use outdated technology (a controller) to make their way through menus. The update to the Dashboard now includes voice recognition and control, which will be compatible with upcoming Xbox services such as ABC iView and YouTube.
These services are just a sampling of the slew of media coming to the Xbox, which will be integrated over the coming months.
Thanks to VG247.
