Speech Recognition

Light years away from Perfection!

• Simple words that are clearly dictated are
  transcribed almost accurately by speech to text
  apps.
• The web is filled with bloopers that a speech to
  text app makes.

To wreck a nice speech!

• Ironically this is what an automated voice to
  text application translates when you say to
  recognize speech.
• Latest applications are much better, they still
  leave a lot to be desired.
• Drawbacks of these applications is that they do
  not recognize even simple foreign phrases.

5
Weird video captions!

• YouTube video with the automatic captions.
• It can be a nightmarish experience.

6
Average accuracy score of a human transcriber

• The range of human error in transcription is also
  considerably lower between 2 and 4 .
• It is much better than an automated voice
  recognition system.

7
Is it the death knell for speech to text
applications?

• Definitely not! It may not have an amazing level
  of comprehension but it is still a work in
  progress.
• A work that would hopefully get better with time.
