Hi Bullseye,
A good article. One company that I haven't seen mentioned on the speech recognition article or threads is Philips Electronics, who were the first to release a continious speech recognition computer transcriper. I tried this product last year and it worked fairly well under low noise conditions on limited difficulty vocabularies such as radiology. (Difficulty ratings range from radiology - 20, business dictation - 225apx., literature poetry - 350)
One thing most people in the field don't want to think about is that 95% accuracy is not good enough for a commercial product except as a novelty toy. And no one is even close to having a system work under normal usage noise conditions. It will be a long time, maybe in a decade before really useable general dictation products will be developed.
FOREVER CHASING RAINBOWS is the history and future of speech recognition. Skeet
