Human transcribers vs voice recognition apps; a lopsided war

Speech Recognition

Light years away from Perfection!

• Simple words that are clearly dictated are transcribed almost accurately by speech to text apps.

• The web is filled with bloopers that a speech to text app makes.

To wreck a nice speech!

• Ironically this is what an automated voice to text application translates when you say “to recognize speech”.

• Latest applications are much better, they still leave a lot to be desired.

• Drawbacks of these applications is that they do not recognize even simple foreign phrases.

Weird video captions!

• YouTube video with the automatic captions.

• It can be a nightmarish experience.

Average accuracy score of a human transcriber

• The range of human error in transcription is also considerably lower between 2 and 4 %.

• It is much better than an automated voice recognition system.

Is it the death knell for speech to text applications?

• Definitely not! It may not have an amazing level of comprehension but it is still a work in progress.

• A work that would hopefully get better with time.

Thank you!
