Baidu's Voice Recognition Software Is More Accurate Than Typing
The massive Chinese web services company Baidu haslaunched their sophisticated new TalkType 'keyboard' which defaults to voice recognition app. An anonymous reader quotes The Stack: Baidu claims that the app's speech recognition is more accurate than actual typing, having developed and tested the technology alongside speech software experts at Stanford University...The researchers concluded that Baidu's technology was three times faster than a typical user typing in English. The results showed that the TalkType error rate was 20.4% lower than an English texter hunting and tapping for letters. The accuracy was even greater for those typing in Mandarin, with the error rate dropping 63.4% when using TalkType. Of course, last year Baidu was also accused of gaming the testing for their image-recognition software.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
