eHomeUpgrade | Promptu - Voice Controlled Television

I can see myself just sitting on my butt - thinking - now I'm talking at the TV finally. I'm having a conversation with my TV and I'm also in total control. If I'm upset at a news item - I can yell - maybe even change the channel. Oh god...the world is truly going to end soon. :-)

AgileTV has taken the wraps off a new TV voice control product they like to call Promptu, which enables subscribers of compatible cable TV services to perform advanced TV navigation using only their voice (via Slashdot).
