The guys.

Just wanted to let Chanel I am testing out Dragon's selloffs NaturallySpeaking essentials seven.

As you can plainly see it has its ups and downs.

But accurate panel starting at the Red not too long ago where I asked for input on a quality voice recognition software program.

As you can see from the paragraphs of my when he speaks Lederle and clearly or slowly and clearly you get good recognition.

It's when you speeded up that you have a problem.

There is a manager Nantucket. Now that should have read there once was a man from Nantucket.

And we way if you are interested in a speech recognition program I would rate this a seven out of 10 for accuracy and nine out of 10 for ease of use.

Please note to give the entire judgment of this product I have not edited this post from the dictation.

admin at work picked up sony's digital recorder and a copy of dragon thinkin she'd be able to record the meetings, plug it in and let the program type out her minutes...

just a little disappointed when she realized it would not work with 12 different ppl

Did you just start using it? Via Voice (the IBM one) could out do that in maybe a half hour of working with it. Big drawback to Via Voice as, I saw it, was learning how to use everything. Especially if you were using the digital recorders.

I'm not too familiar with Dragon. Does it let you play around with other programs as well? (like start up any program you want or manipulate the mouse by voice) How is it figuring homonyms? (Like meat and meet)

Really depends on what ya wanna do. I've just about done with an information extraction system that uses speech recognition. Did it for a friend - his 8th semester project. hought I was gonna aid him with technical bits re: speech recognition only, but I ended up reading all the theory, doing all the code and now I am about to meet him to help him do the documentation(!).

Anyway, ViaVoice is quite powerful. Used that with Java Speech Grammar thingy. Really neat coz you can do it the easy way and match to just one specific person and specific phrases, or define phonemes and all that and get a generic speech recognition component. The latter is a lot more work but it's not that hard once one has read up on speech theory.

Try ViaVoice. I've had good success with it, even speaking at normal rate. You can download a free version and try it out.
