I ... see this being ... good for anyone.

... I am really [happy] that this can be patended. ... Lookting at the patent itself it looks like [something] new, its a series of flow charts!

I see [something] novel or patent worthy here ... !

Oh, it could be good if used responsibly. But that is not what is going to happen, isn't it?

(real time translation and giving people a way of dodging the social stigma attached to speech impediments are fine. Making sure someone with a stuffed nose sounds normal on Video is fine too. It could also be used to modify in-game videos to reference actions made by players, reducing the need to store multiple variants of a scene!)

If I'm being totally honest, I'm so glad it's patented. I hope they defend the patent aggressively so nobody else can do this. Even if Microsoft has this capability, defending the patent will limit the scope of its usage.

Bonus points if they defend it aggressively, yet barely utilize it themselves. I'm afraid that may just be wishful thinking.
