Does anyone know whose engine they use? There are only a couple of Speaker Independent Speech Recognition Engines out there. Have they developed their own or licensed it from someone?
- e1ven 17y agoGoogle wrote their own engine after hiring away a bunch of the top guys from Nuance. They started it with Goog-411, training it on requests like "Pizza in Oregon" where they'd know if they were right or wrong because people would request another listing if they weren't quite correct. This is the next step of that, so far as I understand. They're giving it a broader base of phrases to work on. I imagine the ultimate goal is to throw it up against Youtube, so you can search for a phrase, and Google will give you YouTube videos where someone speaks it.
- eugenejen 17y agoI heard the rumor once and lose the url. It says Google hires the original engineer who created Nuance Dragaon NaturallySpeaking. There is also a old rumor about one goal for Google's participation in WINE Project is to let Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking working on Unbuntu. I think the reasonable assumption is that Google hires engineers and built a version of the engine on their own platform. So it may be a new engine in different architecture as the desktop PC version but with all the brains behind Dragon NatuallySpeaking.
