We're often accused (by Speech Recognition software vendors) of being hard on Speech Recognition software by pointing out that most UK law firms prefer digital dictation technology (talking of which Howard Kennedy has just announced that it has implemented a Bighand digital dictation system over VMWare's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure – full story in this month's Insider newsletter) however to set the record straight, here is a Speech Recognition story... Nuance Communications – the company that now owns the Dragon NaturallySpeaking product – has just announced the UK-based winners of its 'I Speak Dragon!' contest, which invited Dragon users to share their experiences of using Speech Recognition software on a PC. There were two winners in the 'I Speak Dragon to Improve My Work' category and here are their winning entries: Carl Rohsler – Solicitor Specialising in Gambling Law About six months ago Carl was contacted by a publisher to see if he would write a work about the UK's new gambling legislation. The book was to be approximately 2,000 pages, of which Carl would be responsible for 250,000 words of analysis. A big task, and one that Carl would have to complete at the same time as his normal day job. Carl decided to experiment with Dragon NaturallySpeaking and within an hour he was hooked. “After only a few days I had started to develop my own commands for citations, abbreviations and numbering. But it was the speed and the incre ... Source: www.tech-archive.net --- 17 days ago

Filed under: Software , iPhone , App Store I want my iPhone to have voice dialing. Belgian developers Creaceed are moving in the right direction by introducing the Vocalia English Speech Recognition tool for iPhone. This app just does one thing right now -- displaying contacts from your Address Book when you say names. You still need to tap on the name that appears to open the contact, then tap on a number to dial it. Creaceed is working on adding new functionality to future versions. How well does Vocalia recognize names? I tested it by reading the first 100 names in Contacts. Without training Vocalia, it was able to correctly recognize 98 of the names -- that is, it put them on a screen with three of the closest sounding names. For 83 of the names, the correct name was at the top of the list. The two names that weren't recognized properly were Guilherme and Guiseppe. You can also add nicknames or other pronunciations to any name to further improve accuracy. Between now and October 18th, Vocalia is on sale for US$3.99 in the App Store (click opens iTunes). The regular price of Vocalia is $7.99. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments ...
Clive Akass, Personal Computer World , Monday 13 October 2008 at 10:00:00 Dictation software comes of age and is useful for more than just transcription Not so long ago we began a review of a Speech Recognition program by repeating the gibberish that it generated. Since then, the technology has improved beyond all Recognition. In fact, Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 is being used to write this review. Although faster than its predecessor, Nuance’s claim that it is 15 per cent more accurate is misleading as this refers to a reduction in an already small number of mistakes. Version 9 was well over 90 per cent accurate, and even inexperienced users can achieve that with version 10 with care but little or no training. So why isn’t it used more often? The software has become more tolerant of noise but you still need to be in a quiet room to use it, if only to avoid driving colleagues crazy with your dictation. This also rules out using it in open-plan offices. Another reason, perhaps, is that people aren’t used to dictating. The flip side is that some people talk better than they write; if you like pacing up and down, giving forth, you could go for the wireless edition, which comes with a Plantronics headset. Dragon will also transcribe from a digital recording. The biggest problem is correction. If the software has failed to recognise a word once, it is likely to get it wrong again. Dragon failed in four attempts to recognise ‘gibberish’ i ...
