Does voice recognition work while offline?
The UK PS website calls it the PlayStation Camera. It's not even featured on the US website!![]()
That's quite impressive then given how well it reportedly works. I guess it'll struggle with accents though, as words would have to be broken into phonemes and tested against, and any of these could fall over. That said, you could assign margin of error on phonemes. It's mostly vowels that vary between accents. Reduce a name to its consonants and add a selection of possible vowels between each of them, and you'd probably have a fairly robust solution for name correlation. Is my guess.![]()
Tested it and yes it does.
"PlayStation Home Screen" then "Back To Game" rinse and repeat works as fluidly as Microsoft demod Kinect switching between Forza and the Xbox One's menu system. It appears that once you've got it's attention and give it a voice command it stays in 'listen mode' for a few seconds and the next command doesn't need to be prefaced by "PlayStation".
It's just a shame that "PlayStation" is a mouthful compared to "Xbox" :| I would prefer "Oi" so please fix that, Sony.
D'oh! Okay that's much better - even if it is the name of that weird alien in Bill & Ted's Bogus JourneyYou can just say "station" if you want.

You can also use "Back To Game" if it's not been shut down.
Station did not work for me, weird, i forgot to mention back to game, works toHad my first voice moment, got up but forgot to shutdown the PS4, told it to shut down

SoftKinetic’s iisu middleware is compatible with most 3D depth-sensing cameras including time-of-flight, structured light and stereoscopic.

It seems fairly good, it has the classic talk to me so I understand it feeling, but it's fast and usable when you don't have the controller in hand. And taking screenshots is nice without having to pause the game or reconfigure the share button.

Hi.
Have any of you played Just Dance 2014 without Move? I've heard so many good and bad opinions about it, that I'm a bit confused and I would appreciate some opinions from my B3d buddies.
If movement recognition is so bad, do you think it's due to the software? Can you compare it to Just Dance 2014 in Xbox One?
Thank you!
Thank you for your reply.Weird stuff. So with the camera it seems to just track your hand? Presumably to stay compatible with Move tracking, if you have that? Does it support both? Apparently yes: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/21/just-dance-2014-ps4-review

And based on the below, if it can't properly track you it does a lot of guessing. But actually I hear that it's not that different with the 360 Kinect version, or even the Xbox One version:

And personally, I think that the PS3's own dancing game, Dance Party/Everybody Dance then is probably much better (at least that tracks the Move, and does so with very good accuracy).
So hopefully Sony releases a PS4 version of that one. Doing it with move removes a little bit of the challenge versus a full camera, but also really helps with needing less space.
By the way, my beard keeps growing, but without having retrained it, the camera still picks me up. It's definitely generally slower at doing so than the Kinect though. Only once have I had it not pick me up, or suggest I was a friend who had logged on once, very briefly before it changed its mind.
Wouldn't that be listed in the system info licenses?or are they bought a license for something like "Dragon Speech Recognition Software" from Nuance Communications?

If Dragon partnered up with Sony for this, you'd find a press-release about it. I can have a look when I get home, but I doubt they would choose them as a partner - too expensive.
