Wii reads your voice

[wraggster]

Nintendo Wii and DS games could soon feature an intriguing voice-recognition system that can read and analyse your speech.

Analysed text can be displayed as text on other players' consoles during multiplayer games with the tone of your voice altering the colour, size and font of the text, according to a US patent held by Nintendo.

As you speak, the system picks up on your voice pattern - shout "I WIN!" and it will appear in big red capital letters; whisper and it'll be much smaller and in a more subdued colour. The patent, issued in February, has surfaced after an IGN forumite claimed to know of Nintendo's plans to use a system called 'voice-to-text communication' in its games.

It's unclear whether these plans are primarily for Wii games, but the forum poster also claims that "some peripherals for DS will be compatible with Wii and vice versa," suggesting good compatibility between the two consoles.

This is yet another fun and interactive idea from Nintendo. :)

I hope it works much better than the voice recognition in Brain Age.

this is an awsome idea!
hopefully the Wii will have a better (and bigger) mic than the ds to avoid some problems

but still its gonna be fun to see an occasional misspelling.. and of course there will be a censor..

get ready for "Go Suck Clock you Slot"

It will be one of the best feature out yet.
