How does speech-recognition software compare to an expert lip-reader in accuracy?

Clearly the lip-reader has the disadvantage of needing to see the speaker speak.
In a noisy restaurant however it is the computer that would be unable to translate.
So given a lip-reader that can see the speaker in a room together with a speech-
recognition system which one is more accurate?
Has the hearing-impaired community embraced this new technology and if so do they carry a portable system with them?

Answer
Technology has come a long way. EX my phone's voice recognition software is superb and cuts out background noise. I was blaring rammstein and spoke a text message to my girlfriend and it worked. Its a Motorola Droid btw.

What should I get, the Droid Razr or the iPhone 4?

I have a mac computer, so it makes me want to just stick with apple and get an iPhone, but the Droids seem really cool! Any experience with these phones?

Answer
The Razr has a big screen and has the ability to store stuff on micro SD cards, which all iPhones lack.

Neither Android or the iPhone are âbetterâ than the other at everything, both have their own pros and cons.
I personally have a Motorola Droid 2 Global, but I have sold cell phones for the last year and a half, and I have a bit of experience with both Android and iPhone, as well as Blackberry.

Android Pros:
Variety of phone types at a variety of price points and layouts
SD Card slots in most models
Some models have physical keyboards
There are some rugged Android phones (the Casio Commando is a good example)
Most models support Flash.
The operation of various versions of Android are fairly similar.

Android Cons:
No standardized revision
Some models never get operating system updates after 6 months on the market
The lower end models are mostly garbage (like the LG Ally, LG Optimus, and anything by Pantech)
Fewer (if any) custom accessories for each phone model
Open system is more prone to outside attack
No ready interface with iTunes

iPhone Pros:
Crisp Display
iTunes interface (you can use the iPhone as an iPod)
Great sounding speakers (for an item this size)
Better User Interface
Closed system lends a bit better system stability and security (in theory)

iPhone Cons:
Small screen
No physical keyboard
Easily Broken (compared to other contemporary phones)
High Cost
Frequently stolen
Also is known as a âcultâ object.
Frequently does not live up to the commercials
Over-hyped.
