Ask HN: If reCAPTCHA captured speech could every word be understood by NLP?

1 points by chrisherd 10y ago

reCAPTCHA has completed digitizing the archives of The New York Times and books from Google Books. Could an audio reCAPTCHA make every word and dialecht understandle through NLP?

No, only about 95% of them. People can't do better than that, and much of that is ambiguity in the source material.

  i get that, I just wonder whether utilising a massive platform approach like reCAPTCHA could optimise the ability of NLP to comprehend things at a far higher rate.
