List of words the Microsoft speech engines can't say correctly
There are several glitches with Microsoft Sam, Mike, Mary, Anna, David, Hazel, Zira, Mark and Eva, some of which that cause them to pronounce words incorrectly. Following is a list of glitches that have been found. Note: Many of the mispronunciations are not in the SAPI4 (used for Speakonia) version originally in Windows 2000, although there are some SAPI4 - only bugs. Most famously, regardless of version, Sam cannot pronounce the word "soy" (also the spelling "soi"), but instead will make a sou

Chris Wilson | Microsoft Conversations
Hi, this is Jon Udell. In this first installment of my new Microsoft Conversations series I got together with Chris Wilson. He's been involved with Internet Explorer and with web standards for over a decade. We talked about the history and evolution of IE, about Ajax, about ways of extending the browser -- ranging from bookmarklets to Firefox extensions to plug-ins -- and about the W3C's invitation to Chris to chair its new HTML working group.
A talk with Marty Collins about blogs, architectural guidance, and technical marketing | Microsoft Conversations.mp3
Marty Collins is senior marketing manager with the solution architecture group responsible for msdn.microsoft.com/architecture and skyscrapr.net. She wanted to interview me about the relationship between blogs and technical marketing, and I wanted to hear her thoughts on the same subject, so we wound up interviewing each other.
She was interested to hear my take on how professionals -- not only in the field of software, but also much more broadly -- can and should use blogs to communicate their public agendas.
I was fascinated to hear from her about an upcoming marketing initiative to monitor blog discussions and address questions and concerns by injecting responses directly into blog comments. It's a radical but, I think, clueful strategy for 21st-century marketers.
