[Bradford] Ubuntu's new Head-up display & no menu system

[Brian]

Let's hope that they cater for different accents. I've found few speech recognition systems that work for me. I've taken the Android one off my phone to create more space. I sometimes test my phone system with the US 'Tell Me' service. That isn't bad but I do put on a US accent for some menus. No matter, there are so many people, from the south of England, that I hear on BBC News and Radio Four, who speak mid-atlantic, who will probably be just fine with a US accent. I am referring to those who say ged, gedding, conservadive, hosbidal, Peeder,Scoddish, Bridish etc. etc. - not to mention the American 'leverage'.

Given the current state of FOSS speech recognition, this is going to
be a disaster for anyone not brought up in the central USA...
