Amazon mitigated bad speech transcription by providing a link to listen to the underlying audio.
Apple has never offered this and it has led to lots of head scratching at the grocery store as I work through my shopping list. It still beats trying to use the Alexa app while shopping, though.
- dpkirchner 3y agoAmazon is hilariously bad at understanding voices. The number of times it has played "Pure" instead of "NPR" is astounding, despite me going in to the Alexa app to report the error every time. I'm convinced those error reports are round-filed.
- sethaurus 3y agoWhat does "round-filed" mean?
- adamkochanowicz 3y agoI've also never heard this term before.
- dpkirchner 3y agoThrown in the (round) trash can. At least that's what I meant. Based on my googling it looks like it's an uncommon term -- way way less common than I thought. Not sure where I first heard/read it.
- geoffpado 3y agoI think the more common version is “circular file”: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/circular_file https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/circular_file
