But for Deaf people? How often do remote working people phone?
- shagie 4y agoMany conferencing tools have live transcriptions as part of the service. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-live-captions-in-a-teams-meeting-4be2d304-f675-4b57-8347-cbd000a21260 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-live-captions... In combination with the person typing to participate in the meeting, this may be more accessible than having to have a sign translator in the meetings with you all the time.
- _nalply 4y agoI hope the quality of transcription will increase. Nowadays in Switzerland there are four different languages: English, French, German and the Swiss-German dialect which is different enough to warrant a separate speech-to-text training, which will be a bit difficult because every valley has its own variant of the dialect. This is currently a serious barrier. For example at Youtube, if people talk Swiss German Youtube identifies it as Spanish, Dutch, Ukrainian or English, I have seen it all. If I would need to do remote work, I would look for an international company where the office language is strictly English.
