Re: Voice Recognition Software
Hi all,
quite some time ago, I suffered something of a crash and lost a lot of the softcopy of my work. I had the printouts, so got the IBM product for voice recognition - sorry I can't recall its name, just now - and a headset and spent an hour or so educating it to my voice and pronunciation and it worked very well. Accuracy well over 99%, or far better than my typing. A little more relaxing too.
I tried dictating new stories but never warmed to that for some reason; same too with controlling my PC by voice. Then IBM -as IBM has a tendency to do - dropped the development of it and left the market to Dragon Dictate and its successors.
Watching old movies, the company Grand-Pooh-Bahs have a dictation machine or a gorgeous secretary that they give dictation to (who always seems more intelligent and better organized than her boss), so for some people it works.
Times have changed.
Cheers,
