A Bit of BackgroundĪ few years ago, I started experimenting with speech recognition at a fellow translator’s request. Now that you have a clearer understanding of how speech recognition works, let’s explore how you can use a phone or tablet to unlock its potential for nothing, or nearly so. For example, you would have to read the paragraph above as: “One of the most difficult adaptations is learning to read out everything and by that I mean everything including punctuation ” One of the most difficult adaptations is learning to read out everything-and by that I mean everything, including punctuation. Some adaptation is required, the software can be finicky to set up, and while you’ll probably never have a typo using it, you’ll surely get “dictos”-misrecognized words that sound similar, but don’t have the same meaning. However, like all good things, speech recognition software also has its drawbacks. For example, you aren’t chained to a desk and keyboard, and you trade the likelihood of orthopedic injuries for perhaps a sore throat. It also brings significant ergonomic advantages. Speech recognition can, depending on the circumstances, increase output dramatically-remember, you can speak much faster than you can type. While it’s far more detailed than that, the appeal for people whose work revolves around words is immediately apparent. Speech recognition is a software application best described as converting sound into words. Speech recognition (n.): The process of identifying and interpreting or responding to the sounds produced in human speech.
