FSX ATC voice recognition - nobody ever thought of this?

Voice recognition uses a huge chunk of processing power which conflicts with FS's need for virtually 100% of processor power at any given instant. For that reason you will likely not see voice recognition in FS any time soon.

If I'm right, then that could not be the case. Not that FS does not need as much processing power there is, but your first statement. Voice recognition does take a lot of processing power, but nowadays this should not be that much for a "regular" processor. Of course I'm not sure about that, not an expert on voice recognition, but I am an IT-student and have used a speech recognition product from Philips in the past. This has been some years ago and the quality of it was quite outstanding, while the computer I used it on was not very up-to-date. That is the reason for me to doubt whether it is really that cpu-intensive today.

Kind regards,

If that's the case then how come VOXATC works alongside AI traffic without any more stutters than usual? The only downside to me of VOX was it can't control AI, if it had used the same controls RC4 uses over AI I would've stuck with it, as it was great being able to say what you meant. I finally took it off for two reasons:

1/ My mic stopped working
2/ It can't control AI so became a bit awkward as I like a lot of AI planes around.
