Hi everyone,
I was just listening to a programme on radio 4 UK, called "In touch". This
is a weekly prog dedicated to the interests of the VIP community. This time it
was looking at the potential of using voice recognition to provide Deaf Blind
people with a transcript of radio programmes. I should mention, for those who
don't know it, Radio 4 is primarily a speech based service as apposed to music
based. There is a scheme afoot, in the States, using centralised computing
power to begin this service for some radio stations there. Now, this got me
thinking, couldn't Siri/Dragon do this for us directly on our phones? Has
anyone come across an app that already does this, or am i in the vanguard here?
Personally, I don't, at this moment, need such a service, but I think, this
might be useful to some of our members, especially, if, instead of waiting for
national efforts, we could do it for ourselves. I do see so many apps
appearing, seemingly, after the horse has bolted, as it were, offering
functionality to us, the which we already have through the mainstream, but an
app of this sort might actually offer a new form of access to a subsection of
VIP iPhone users and increase their access to the spoken word in a meaningful
way. Also, I am thinking, seeing as many of these apps actually learn as they
are used, it might provide the basis of voice to text recognition on the fly.
Am I making sense? Does this thought seem useful or am I behind the times?
JMT, Sandy.
