New Found Nintendo Patent Suggests Voice Recognition

Theres been yet another Nintendo patent found recently this one involving Voice to Text Chat Conversion which uses different sized text for different volumes levels of speech, so if someone is yelling the text would be bigger and also different colors of text used for emotions like say if person sounded mad text could be red. This will be a difficult task for Nintendo to achieve voice recognition software is far from perfect today. Most programs only store like 3 or 4 recordings of each word when realistically much more would work much better but still would not be perfect, and the whole emotion part of it would make it even more complicated. Dont forget there will be many cases were more than one person per household will play online, So multiple people in the household spending a few hours each on the voice recognition alone i think might shy some people away from using that feature. though I am one of the people that would take as much time as needed to perfect this system to my own voice and speech habits.

I for one hope Nintendo can pull this one off but it wont be easy. Here is the patent for all who wish to check it out.
