![]() ![]() When combined with text expansion as seen in TextExpander, the technology really starts to take off. This is absolutely awe-inspiring to see in practice. What he demonstrated was that a well calibrated speech recognition system can recognize nearly anything that comes out of your mouth, in real-time. ![]() He also demonstrated that he was using this same technology to write nearly all of his e-mails, and to greatly increase his productivity while using his Mac. Pogue demonstrated that he was using speech recognition technology on his Mac to write nearly all the articles for his New York Times column. Recently, I watched a video from TED of David Pogue talking about technology and how people who use technology on a day-to-day basis tend to find faster and more efficient ways to use the technology than their “average person” counterparts. However, the companies that decide which technologies get produced have decided not to use speech recognition as a primary means of input, but to use the keyboard and mouse instead. ![]() The ridiculous part of all this is that we have had the technology for speech recognition for nearly three decades. Because of this, if you care about productivity at all, the future of speech recognition technology should really matter to you. ![]() If you speak clearly and quickly, you can talk your computer far, far faster than you could ever possibly type. Why then, do we depend on keyboards and mice to interact with our computers? When I saw “Jarvis” in Ironman, I saw the very real potential that speech recognition software has to revolutionize the way we interact with technology. We humans don’t communicate with each other using keyboards. From the very first time I saw the first Ironman movie, I was really inspired by the potential for speech recognition software. ![]()
