Voice recognition

Has anyone used the voice recognition software that allows you to talk into a microphone and it automatically types the words? We were considering buying the software but do not know how well the application runs.

Re: Voice recognition

We used one a few years ago and it worked fairly well as long as you spend the time to "train it" it caught about 80% of the words.

Re: Voice recognition

I haven't used one in a long time. I found myself spending almost as much time editing the results as the time it would have taken to type.

But at that time I found that the voice recognition software built into Windows XP was just as good as the store-bought versions.

Re: Voice recognition

The field of computer science that deals with designing computer systems that can recognize spoken words. Note that voice recognition implies only that the computer can take dictation, not that it understands what is being said. Comprehending human languages falls under a different field of computer science called natural language processing.

Re: Voice recognition

Hi Xmer

I recently hurt my arm and could not type without severe pain. I was really in a bad spot and had no choice but to use voice recognition to get my work done. I'm on Windows Vista and there is a speech recognition tool there that came free with my computer. It learned my voice very quickly and was pretty easy to use. I found the voice commands with that to coincide with keyboard commands, meaning you tell the computer the commands as you would type them on a keyboard. However, when it comes to dictating, that software doesn't flow with your voice. You always have to confirm what you said before it "pastes" it. That made it unwieldy.

I also have a copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking. With that, dictation is much more intuitive and the voice commands are pretty okay, you just have to learn a few of the commands so you can operate more effortlessly. As far as the accuracy - I think DNS is a much broader application than the Windows app. It has a deeper vocabulary base and doesn't require you to okay everything it does. It really tries to mimic you, using your voice as the medium. Because of this, it takes longer to train it and get it to work accurately. I found that if I spent 15 minutes a day or so, training, eventually I got it to duplicate my voice with few errors. This took some time, though. I pretty much had to do all the training sessions provided, and the ones that did the most to correct inaccuracies were the advanced training sessions.

If you are planning on using this for your business, I would be compelled to ask why. If it's for a handicap situation, then it is an excellent way for workers to be work around their issues. But if you think it's going to replace a keyboard, you may be disappointed. It just depends on who it's replacing. If you have a worker who types 80 WPM, then it would be set back. If you have a worker who only pecks out at 10 WPM, then with some training, it could be a valuable tool.
