Speech Recognition

Why Kinect ? Why not an other microphone ? It should works but Kinect has the best ROI. Here is an explanation why.

• Microphone
• Kinect XBox 360
• Kinect for Windows
• Kinect 2 (later)

Operating System

Why Windows ? Why Microsoft Speech Recognition ? Because it's the best and other Kinect features are amazing. Here is an explanation why.

• Windows 7 32/64bit
• Windows 8 32/64bit
• Windows 8.1 32/64bit

Since Kinect SDK 1.6 the Kinect works in a Virtual Machine. So it should works on Mac/Linux VM.
