Thread: Bwuahahaha! Voice Recognition My Ass!

Check out this mockery:


This gets really, really funny. 4 minutes 45 seconds and 5 minutes 25 seconds had me crying. OMG!

That was very funny XD

I'm actually seriously impressed by this program. It was able to understand most of the words he said despite his raising and lowering his voice and generally speaking very quickly.

The main problem was that he was attempting to dictate unusual text - even if you tried to tell someone how to write this program over the phone, you would probably have some trouble explaining exactly what you wanted.

It also seems that his main problem (with INFO) was a result of his own lack of knowledge - the program uses specific key phrases as commands, and he didn't know which one to use to make an entire word capitalized (this is evidenced by the program actually writing out "Capital info" - this phrase is clearly not a valid command).

I would love to play with that. Hilarious video, though.

LOL, loved it when the computer thought he said fuck

Yea, I think he was messing around with it but it looks like it would work really well for most things. Might take a little time to get used to it but once you know the commands, seems easy enough.

Yeah. Wow. Dunno what to make of that yet. It was pretty hilarious though.

He wasn't speaking quickly, he was speaking at normal pace. What's the point of voice recognition software if you have to sit there for 5 hours, speaking slowly enough for it to understand you?

When he got aggravated (which was most of the clip, understandably ) He started rapping out some commands pretty fast - especially the 'delete so-and-so's. Sounded almost like "Dleet". As far as current voice-recognition technology goes, being able to make sense of such statements reliably is very impressive.

None of it is really practical, though, yet. Oh well. One more step in the right direction. And a fun(ny?) toy!
