Speech recognition software (DNS 10)

[tekdeus]

I've been playing with and trying out this new software. With a good quality mic and sound card, it's actually pretty darn accurate. In fact this entire post was created by simply speaking into my microphone. Quite the novelty. Enjoy!

Do you still have to pause. Between. Every. Fucking. Word?

 

[tekdeus]

No. It's evolved to the point of usefulness It screws up occasionally, but it's easy to correct with the keyboard. It has a function where you can improve the accuracy and train it for your own voice and vocabulary, but I haven't even tried that yet.

DUDE!!! That'd be so cool! If I were him I'd be jumping all over this software! Dyslexia has to get annoying...


Technology never ceases to amaze me. If you were to tell someone in 1960 that in 50 years you could talk into a microphone and it would write your words for you they would never believe you.

That software even gets homophones and grammar correct. Probably spells more accurately than the people using it...

Sometimes typing actually helps people think about what they want to say first before they type it... and for people like me, I can actually write something and make it ten times more understandable than what I can actually voice it.

But eh, that is just me, lets get a copy to Nash pronto.

I am with Suprarx on the being amazed with technology bit... I know I grew up with this stuff but a lot of technology is still beyond me.
