Voice recognition software has come a long way. I tried it 15 years ago, but gave up in frustration. Recently, I took another look and found that technology has advanced a lot. Although I can now dictate fast and see the words pour out with impressive accuracy, there are still plenty of errors – some of them quite … interesting. Below is a case summary made up of examples from my growing collection of things the computer seems to have thought I said.
The moral: If you dictate with voice recognition software, proofread!
