[Asterisk-Users] Speech Recognition

[Steve Underwood]

Hi Dean,

What relevance has that to what we were discussing? We were talking 
about free form speech to text. That is a world apart from a voice 
activated IVR. Besides that, I have never found a voice activated IVR in 
English that gets better than about 30% accuracy on a fairly limited 
decision. A slight divergence from the typical 98% they claim. In 
contrast, I have seen very good accuracy for Cantonese and Mandarin, 
which have been less intensively developed.

Regards,
Steve
