Is Speech Recognition Software Right For You

Speech recognition software is becoming increasingly popular among college students and business minded folks alike. The reason it's becoming so popular is because you can speak and the speech recognition software will type it out for you with great accuracy.

When speech recognition software first came out it got a bad name because the accuracy was very poor and it would in reality take longer to use it then it would to just sit and type of paper. This is not the case anymore. Some of the more advanced software programs have an accuracy rate of 99% and it provides you to quickly switch between talking and typing.


among the great benefits of voice recognition software is that by using it you are able to cut the time that it will take you to type by 70%. This could free up several time for you if you tend to type much. This is especially great for college kids to must write several papers. With any speech recognition software you get you will need to train it. You do this by reading preset passages so the software can pick up on how you pronounce your words.

The more training you do the more accurate it'll be when you embark on using it. You must do a minimal of one training session. If that is all you choose to do the speech recognition software will make more mistakes at first but the more use it the more accurate it will become. additional thing that will make it more accurate is if you're working in a quiet environment. I have found some noise won't affect the software but when my son comes running into the room to tell me something, more times than not, it will type what he's saying.

So if you tend to work from home or if kids are a major part of your daily routine then you may be better off just typing.
