Speech recognition has been stuck at a high but not good enough plateau for some time. 90% accuracy sounds nice, but is actually totally useless. 99% might be good enough, but no one is there. More likely, 99.9 (for some number of repeating 9s) might be necessary for people to really trust these systems.
- elblanco 16y agoI read someplace that human speech recognition is around 90%, I think for speech recognition to be considered "useful" it has to be super-human. I agree something like 99+% is required before it really gets accepted. One problem lots of speech driven systems have too is the lack of discover-ability. There's no interface you can inspect to learn from unless the system gives you a long list of command choices.
