Speech recognition won't do much for my language.. with no official spoken language (and that's not wanted either), but hundreds of very different dialects. Anything existing right now is pretty much useless, but on the other hand I've never really found speech to be a particularly useful input method.
- elkos 3y agooh that's pretty interesting, would you like to share more on the specifics of that?
- PetitPrince 3y agoI think OP is referring to Swiss German --- dialects are very local (I heard it even differs from valley to valley in the Alps) and often difficult to understand (Wallisertiitsch -- one of the mountain dialect -- is often brought as an example of an unintelligible favor of German), but official and government matters are conducted in standard German (with only few differences with the one spoken in Germany).
- lutorm 3y agoSpeech isn't a particularly useful input method ... until you lose the use of your hands. Then it suddenly is a lot more attractive.
- DaiPlusPlus 3y agoEven with my hands, voice-search on Apple TV, including the YouTube app, is very capable and accurate.
- tsimionescu 3y agoOnly if you happen to only search for English titles. Try to search for a foreign song in English (say, La Marseillaise), and the results quickly become next to useless.
- PetitPrince 3y agoI agree that speech an input method is overrated, but automatic caption is a really nice accessibility feature (not only for the deaf, but also for non-native speakers, or when it's not convenient to have sound, ...)
