Synchrosurprised
Back in November, I wrote about Microsoft’s new Sync system, which is currently available in Ford vehicles. I was impressed when a reviewer reported that the speech recognition actually worked well.
Some of the people I’ve been working with the past two weeks flew up from Charleston, SC and got a rental car—a Ford equipped with Sync. I rode with them to lunch, and as we were returning, they decided it was time for some entertainment.
Ding. “Play artist The Beatles.”
“Playing artist The Eagles.”
Hilarity ensued.
Not once were we able to achieve the desired result. I’ll give Microsoft one thing: it certainly was entertaining.
