With the evolution of technology, and the demands to improve productivity and the imposition of a multi-tasking reality, developers have generated and optimized –and as a matter of fact are constantly optimizing- software to turn speech to text. You just need a microphone, generally included in your device. It gives also the application of dictation, and these are the most common and everyday uses. But if you need to give it a more intense use, e.g. writing content, dictating meetings or sending emails, then you must consider more sophisticated equipment.
The new developments guarantee accuracy, despite the length of sentences, the multiplicity of paragraphs, the use of proper names and even numbers. Needless to say this technology turns more accurate the more you use it. No matter your device, mobile, desktop or tablet, and no matter the language (iOS or Android) you will be surprised to see how fast and simple the action is.
Zyla Labs offers a suite of APIs that together establish interfaces to make of English Speech to Text API an efficient, accurate and reliable application. It allows to format and edit the output text by means of basic commands. The functions are: voice typing, speech recognition, dictation software, speech-to-text, voice recognition, voice-to-text, and speech recognition. All these features are contemplated by the API.
Accuracy can be quantified in percentage, and it is amazing how precise the output can be. These percentages fluctuate between 97 and 99, and errors are about capitalization or punctuation, i.e. minor imprecisions. This makes the API reliable, as well as easy to use, which saves time without affecting accuracy. It is recommended as a handy tool that does not demand a “training” period. The more you use it the more accuracy you will accomplish.
Zyla leads the industry with its range of software packages and specific apps, for legal, medical, law enforcement, etc. issues. It can handle specific vocabulary, and it can even transcribe text from an audio file. You will find shortcuts to shorten addresses, for example, by inputting keywords. Once you get the text, you may email it or share it; as simple as that. And always bear in mind: accuracy improves with use!
The application recognizes your voice and turns it into written text as fast as you talk, and with a minimum error rate. You can personalize the platform so as to optimize accuracy, in a way that background noise does not interfere. It ignores stammering…you`ll be surprised!
As the software works in real time, it will be right for fast talkers. However for those who speak more slowly it will probably demand some training. It will never fail in accuracy and easy use though. At your request, you find voice commands (e.g. punctuation, text format, edition, moving around your document, and more) if you check the list that will show up when you need assistance.
If you put to the test this dictation and speech-to-text software back in the 90s, you will notice that it has turned from a clunky, slow and usually frustrating application to the fast, easy and accurate platform it has become today. Zyla´s English Speech to Text API renders all services; whether you want to schedule meetings, play music, find a place to eat, or else to transcribe your articles, meetings minutes and other documents.
