It鈥檚 official: computers still cannot recognise speech properly, says Hewlett Packard. So it suggests that users learn a new language that computers can understand better. Called Computer Pidgin Language, HP鈥檚 new lingo is based on phonemes from English, Japanese and Esperanto that are more readily decipherable by computers. The phonemes are combined into vaguely familiar-sounding new words with alternating consonants and vowels. So in CPL, 鈥減rinter鈥� becomes 鈥渃rinter鈥�, while telephone becomes 鈥渢eleter鈥�. Highly recognisable utterances such as 鈥渂alka鈥�, 鈥渃oupo鈥�, 鈥渙bobify鈥� and 鈥渙kilimox鈥� can be assigned any meaning you want, says HP.
