> 'There are a lot of problems in speech besides transcription. ' I'm trying to be vague because I don't want to violate NDAs and it's a pain to think up examples I'm not currently working on, but there are a lot of applications of machine learning to the _speech signal_ (rather than to the problem of speech to text; there are many other things you can predict) that are super interesting. Some examples are listed in the text I copied. > 'a half-baked siri' There are so many instances where speech-to-text is super useful for applications other than consumer facing CRUD apps. In a lot of varied industrial applications people are doing very cool things with speech; there are a lot of applications that need very targeted speech systems.
