Speech recognition, a funny
Having carpal tunnel syndrome, I rely heavily on speech recognition
software both for my professional work and for composing the descriptions of items that I sell on eBay. The difficulty that speech recognition software has with homonymns (and with near-homonymic phrases like "See the conquering hero comes" = "Seethe a canker and here oh comes") is legendary. After the umpty-third time I verbally correct something like "Concerto four to piano's and Orchestra" for the umpty-third time, I am, as Queen Victoria said, not amused. But yesterday the program succeeded in making me laugh when it interpreted "An excellent reading copy or a near fine collectible copy" as "An excellent breeding copy..." If I actually had a few of those, I'd be in fat city! My mail address is jsachs177 at earthlink dot net. |
