For the first time ever, I am writing this blog using speech recognition software. This, for me, is a major step forward. I know that many other people have written their words by using this technology in the past but this is the first time that I have felt I wanted to try it out myself. So far, I am very impressed. I have undertaken a small amount of training with my computer and, as of now I have only seen my computer make one mistake. I am also trying out text to speech at the same time as voice recognition. Currently I only have Microsoft Anna running on this computer but I intend to find out whether I am able to use a better voice for my needs.
So far I have only used speech recognition software to create the text and delete words in order to change what I have already written. I have not yet found out how to navigate the toolbar successfully. In fact, I have just spent a very frustrating few minutes trying to place two words into the previous sentence.
I am, however, beginning to come to terms with the rather eclectic method of doing this. Some words, some very simple words, are very difficult for a computer speech recognition system to understand. In fact, it seems that the commonest words are the most difficult of all. I will, however, persevere with this system because I can see many advantages for the future.
