Speech-to-text has to still go a long way when it comes to foreign accents. Google now's "Ok Google" initializer has about 3/10 hit-rate for my Indian accent speech.
- EricBurnett 10y ago'Ok Google' is a different problem though - needs to be a low resource, always-on listener with a low false-positive rate. That's quite a different problem space than general speech-to-text. I think I get about 50% hit rate with 'OK Google' and I'm a native English speaker :).
- DiabloD3 10y agoI had the weirdest conversation with my phone this morning, and I'm a native English speaker with nothing really identifiable as an accent. "Okay, Google." Nothing. "Okay, Google." Nothing. "Okay, Google fucking work or I am taking a hammer to this fucking phone." "DING!" Apparently threats of violence still work against our machine overlords.
