Speech Recognition
I am developing a device for the blind and am thinking of embedding
the speech recognition function into it There are a few choices out there --- IBM ViaVoice, Google Audio Indexing and Microsoft Speech If you have any experience with any of the above 3 software, I would like to hear your comment on the pros and cons on them Thank you ! |

Speech recognition is always heavily dependent on training of both the system and the operator, plus on the microphones and ambient noises. It's important to recognise this in any use of the concept. |

Last time I used ViaVoice, it was not bad. Speech recognition is always heavily dependent on training of both the system and the operator, plus on the microphones and ambient noises. Nuance, the company that currently handles both Dragon and ViaVoice, also offers code which is not speaker-dependent but is much more limited. Is it too limited even for the sort of control function hinted at? I don't know. Seems to work well on those #$%^ ^&**( #$%^ telephone systems. -- Wes Groleau Fuggedaboudit ! http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/WWW?itemid=91 |
