Not an expert in either technology but I would imagine a lot of the difficulties of speech to text (bad recording conditions, variety of accents & pronunciation differences, etc) also have analogues in computer recognition of hand signs (camera alignment is bad, cut off, lighting is bad, someone's hand signs are lazily performed or slightly different than textbook ASL, etc).
Speech to text was "solved" a long time ago but I've seen it take many years to become as usable as it has recently. And it still regularly is frustrating to use for me!
- tsimionescu 4y agoMy experience of speech to text has been terrible. As soon as someone has a bit of an accent, it becomes completely incoherent, even if all participants understand the accent perfectly. Even for good accents, using any kind of technical terms or proper names throws it off. And even when none of these are a problem, it still has at least a few percent error, even for English.
- baseline-shift 4y agotrue. But all transcription tools are terrible transcribing technical language if someone has accented English.
