Nuance has just created a new imaginary history for speech recognition. In a promotion letter sent by the company, L&H, the pair who specialized in purchasing...
I agree with Martin on this one, although for slightly different reasons. My disagreement is very small, in that I think a unidirectional microphone would...
oh... uhm.... er... ah.... REALLY ??? Quite Interesting.... I used to beta test for Kurzweil, AI,... so I am quite amazed by this piece... of... er... uhm......
JR, Nice treatise on speech recognition and speech sampling. Unfortunately, I have to take issue with you on this. First of all, computers don't hear. Speech...
Itamar, First, I haven't seen this at all, so I'm curious as to where it comes from. I know that you received an e-mail, but I have not seen it and before I...
Jim, ... purposes, ... or not pick up) ... might be more prone to do. In our testing, omni and unidirectional microphones always fair poorly for speech...
... Richards, Would you tell us a bit more about it? Am I right in assuming that Raymond Kurzweil was the first manufacturer of a speech recognition software?...
... Chuck, I knew you would set things right -- thanks a lot! I am a bit intrigued about VX, because I do not recall that I bought my first VX from L&H, but I...
I agree with this. We have compelling evidence that recognition accuracy can be harmed significantly by using a different microphone for training, than the...
Chris, ... Our experience has always been, for 14 years we have been using speech recognition, that if any speech profile is created with the best microphone, ...
Hi Marty- That may be; however, I can assure you that a profile trained with a desktop microphone will act very badly when "spoken to" over a telephone. And...
Chris, ... No argument on this. If you tried to use a telephone quality microphone with a user profile created with a great microphone (like the MD431II) you...
Yes. But also understand that we see excellent recognition results when speaking over a telephone to a profile trained over a telephone. Chris Chris McConnell...
Itamar -- I got started with speech recognition software in around 1992 when I purchased several programs, including Dragon systems DragonDictate, Kurzweil...
Hi Marty- The answer is both. Command mode accuracy is nearly perfect in all modes (local microphone or remote telephone). That's because recognizing words...
Chris, hi. Could you be v kind and spell out how you would 'train a profile over a telephone'? Thanks. (Sorry it's probably on another thread somewhere.) ...
Hi Guy- Telephone training is a standard function in our Personal Audio Link software. Chris Chris McConnell <http://www.adondo.net/> Adondo Corporation Now...

"just like a woman, all teasing, and no go..." Maybe you go with the wrong women! Interesting observations, but I missed the part on how MS compares. Also ...
Chris, ... Yes. Bill walked me through PAL one day several months ago. It is really perfect for a techno road warrior. We were able to get up-to-the-minute ...
Oh... I forgot about MS Speech. I try not to repeat it here that it does not work for me as well as either IBM ViaVoice of Dragon NatSpeak. I have long...
Interesting that the Bakers haven't been mentioned ahead of Ray K. But James hasn't been forgotten by the DoD: (from last Monday's headlines) DOD invests...
Hi Chuck -- I really appreciate your corrective gloss on my commentary. I am struck, however, that my experience contradicts the science. Psychologists call...
In other words... we need more spies. Too bad all that information has not led to better decisions in government... Just MY take. ////////// Richards...

Works for me. I like the part about the possibility there are many variables at work here. I, for one, like the concept of multiple causality - and I rarely...
I ordered from a Dns vendor the French English version. The vendor reported to me that Nuance had said that 9.5 was compatible with Vista. What I received...
