I finally got my voice recognition software working, and I’m having a lot of fun with it. There are times when it does very strange things, however…
It doesn’t seem to like popular catch phrases for example…
all your base of a long to us!
All your base are blown to us!
All your base herbal onto us!
all your basic marble long to us to!
all your base our bowl onto us!
I tried singing to it, which humorous results
We can density 12, we can leave your friends behind as your friends don’t thence and if they don’t damn slow there no friends of money…
It does seem to get most things right, though, and that is all I really need. I’ve been suffering from fairly severe RSI symptoms and the less typing I do the batter.
I’m leaving the mistakes in this one… though there are impressively few we’ll mistakes… it has learned a lot sent I first installed at yesterday. The first time I used it was barely recognizable as speech – or rather taxed – all hell you know I mean.
So does anyone else out there have voice recognition software?
That’s real cool. My wife and I saw a guy demonstrating voice recognition software at a home show not too long ago. It looks like it would be real handy.
So, do you have a problem doing certain things? Like, do you have to manually hit “New Post” or do you just say it? And, what do you have to do to get your sig to appear at the bottom? Either way, pretty cool.
Took me a second on the song, but I finally got it. It’s more entertaining that way. Just curious, why did you have that particular song in mind?
My only experiment with voice recognition ended because of poor microphone design. It had to be a design problem, dammit, my nose is nobly proportioned, not oversized…
But, whatever the reason, it meant that every time I breathed out, the exhalation registered on the mike. And the software picked up on this sort of rushing sound, and found the best match it had in its database, and inserted it into the text. The best match, consistently, being “Khruschev”. Every time I used the blasted thing, I had a dead General Secretary of the Communist Party turning up uninvited.
So I went back to using a keyboard. You don’t Benito Mussolini get that Vladimir Ilyich Ulianov sort of problem if you Enver Hoxha use a good reliable Mao Zedong keyboard…
