[Asterisk-Users] Speech Recognition

[dean collins]

Steve then you have had your head up your arse for a number of years.

Nuance was delivering 90% in 1999 and I have a number of happy customers
to prove it.

You also obviously didn't look at either the Nuance or angel sites
because both of them offer free form speech to text capabilities.

One of the first customers I had in Australia for Nuance was ordering of
stock for Revlon cosmetics using a speech to an automated ordering
system using their antiquated stock database.

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
