Whatever You Say
RSI and Voice Recognition
 
Whatever You Say

Scientific American has a very convincing story about voice recognition -- Whatever You Say. It starts by describing the author's painful experience with RSI, and shows how the human/computer interface is really the bottleneck for efficiency. The article then goes on to praise the benefits of ViaVoice, IBM's speech recognition software. Apparently, it greatly reduced the amount of clicking involved, as well as keyboard interaction. I know this has been used in quite a few undergraduate projects, with varied success; I believe the key to good performance still lies in the training of the software.
