Speech recognition finally comes of age
I read on Twitter recently that Charles Christian had invested in MacSpeech Dictate and I was persuaded to give it a try.
Many years ago we invested in an expensive IBM system but quickly lost the will to live when, despite many attempts, the software failed to learn.
What does appear to have improved dramatically is the ability of the headsets to ignore background noise and learn quickly from the training modules.
What must also help is the increase in processing power and the amount of RAM in modern computers. What is taking a bit of getting used to is sitting staring into space while attempting to compose, as opposed to staring blankly at the screen with my fingers poised over the keyboard. No doubt I’ll get used to this in time.
