Alarm clock uses advanced speech recognition technology

I saw a cool press release for something new:

This unique alarm clock uses advanced speech recognition technology that lets you easily set the time and alarm via voice commands and responds to queries such as What time is it with vocalized answers. The unit recognizes 10 spoken commands, including Set alarm, Set time, Check alarm, What is the date, Alarm sound (buzzer, chime, or bell), Stop (snooze for 5 minutes), and Temperature (current room temperature).

I'm an old guy...anyone remember the Voice Navigator?

Yup-not so old :)
For the rest of the crowd: go to http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/Automation_Utilities/LA_Voice_Navigator.html
for a "Speech recognition program that allows users to 'talk and type' emails, word processor documents, power point presentations, and much more."

In fact, I'm going to post it as a blog entry today! Oldy but a goody?!

Very Star Trek like!

This sounds like a great solution for me. Does it under stand the term snooze when uttered in an almost incomprehensible manner at 6AM. If it does sign me up for one of these.

This looks like a great product but for me I actually wake up every morning at around 5:50 am without an alarm clock. It's so strange but it works for me.
