I think it could catch on.. if speech to text worked correctly every time.
If I hit a key on a keyboard, it works correctly every time. If I make a typo, it take a fraction of a second to hit backspace and correct it. Mistakes are cheap to correct.
In comparison, if I talk to my phone, it makes a significant number of mistakes.. making me talk slower/louder/differently to use it. And when it does make a mistake, it's more costly to correct.. I either have to start over, or pick it up and hit backspace. So I disable it and never use it.
- spullara 10y agoThis is the issue I have with speech to text systems as well. None of them have an intuitive, reliable way of making corrections that I don't have to painstakingly learn. Also, Google's keyboard (like SwyfteKey) is far far faster than typing normally. Amusingly, it also suffers from poor correctability...

- rgbrenner 10y agoIn the future, I could see a device that picks up subvocalization filling that role.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> It will not catch on unless a privacy device is made so that people in office enivonements csn do it without disturbing their co-workers. The privacy device is called "an individual office", and its pretty important for people in "office environments" to be effective, independently of use of voice recognition. They've been around for quite a while, but their popularity goes up and down periodically.
