Thread Name: BS: Voice Recognition Software
Subject: RE: BS: Voice Recognition Software
I was training mine, yesterday, by reciting a couple of my granddad's poems. I practised by reading the Mark Twain speech on fear which came with the program. THAT worked like a champ. When I started the poems, it did okay, except that it suddenly didn't want to recognise my "go to bottom" and I am having a lot of trouble getting it to recognise when I say "e" it thinks I am saying "d/c/t!" I did finally get that it worked better if I pronounced "the" with a long "e" as in "thee." I had to do a lot of "select that/spell that." It was frustrating, but I did notice a slight improvement as I went along. Don, I am glad you warned us about needing patience in training it! Any tips gratefully received.:-)
