I thought it would be faster to correct a transcript than type it up fresh. I can type pretty damn quickly, but still slower than the average person talks. I would rather follow along to an AI transcript and correct a few words than type it all new.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoFaster for who? The in the case described above the radiologist does none of the typing and none of the correction.
- jcims 8y agoProblem is that transcription errors never have a misspelling and usually sound ok in yourself nene voice. You have to really pay attention to find them (reading the text backwards a sentence at a time sometimes helps with this)
- derefr 8y agoImagine a professional “assisted stenography” software package. Rather than automatic full transcription + proof-reading after the fact, it would transcribe “live” but with any words where its model gave a low-confidence output highlighted with the expectation that the human stenographer, listening to the audio at the same time the machine is, will type in the correct transcription (or just hit tab to accept, like in autocomplete.)
- jcims 8y agoI would love it if I could always see the top three possible interpretations of what I just said to my phone. It's interesting watching the speech recognition think about what's being said and flip words around once it has enough context.
