Show HN: Wryte – a dictation software for bloggers
- startupdiscuss 10y agoI am an advocate of dictation, but it would be great if the readme answered the following: 1. Avg error rate on a sample set 2. Trainability 3. Average error rate on sample after n hours of training The alternative to this is Google, Apple, and Dragon, so it would be good to know what is in here.
- IceyEC 10y agoThis seems to be using Electron's text-to-speech so presumably, it's a wrapper around Google?
- raphman_ 10y agoThe screenshot indicates that it is indeed a wrapper around Google Chrome's speech recognition capabilities.
- macco 10y agoIt uses Chromes speech to text api. But I don't know, if it could compete with https://cloud.google.com/speech/ https://cloud.google.com/speech/. There is no training involved/possible. The spoken Texts need to be corrected. That is why I integrated a grammar and spelling checker. But you will usually have to do some editing.
- JustUhThought 10y agoDon't know if I agree with the utilizing the whole "spell the word differently so it looks cool" naming scheme in this use-case...
- macco 10y agosorry, it was the first that came to mind. "WRite like You Talk e" The main idea is, that it is easy to google.
- voiper1 10y agoI haven't written anything with electron... how do I install/run it?
- macco 10y agoThere are downloads: https://bitbucket.org/marco_rockiger/wryte/downloads https://bitbucket.org/marco_rockiger/wryte/downloads
- ivan_ah 10y agoAwesome! Would be great if one could use the keys ", ., ,, ;, and maybe p or [ENTER] for newline. Another cool thing would be to prepare a voice recording (3 minutes) and play it on the same speaker to: (A) google voice in speech input in docs API, (B) apple's dictation, and (C) this app, and compare the accuracy. I bet the Mac speech API will do best, but Wrythe won't be far behind...
