Really? You think Siri's (current) technical shortcomings are the major hurdle for speech-to-text adoption?
Not the fact that no one wants to type out loud in their cubicle or coffee shop?
- DanBC 15y agoThere are some specialist niches for speech to text. Medical notes are one example. I'm gently surprised that speech to text isn't better. There's so much weaponisation of sound analysis that I thought the research would be there to help programmers. Also, I don't know where you drink coffee but there's a total arsehole in one local coffee shop who's happy to bellow into his mobile phone.
