The Nabaztag robotic rabbit is a wireless Internet contraption that can speak, move its ears and flash its lights in response to user inputs, and includes speech recognition.
From the site's "Voice Recognition FAQ" (sic):
Services available with voice recognition :
Weather
Air Quality
Paris Traffic
Stock ticker (free and full)
Radio
The commands it recognizes are pretty simplistic:
- Weather
- Air or Smog
- Traffic
- Market
- Radio
but it seems to be an interesting harbinger of what Consumer Speech Recognition Appliances might look like in the not to distant future.
