Anyone know if they're only talking about search queries, or should stenographers start retooling?
http://plover.stenoknight.com developer and stenographer Mirabai Knight in 2012 said real-time transcription was far off:
Are you worried that it's going to supplant my
99.67% accuracy rating in another two years?
Or ten years? Or 20? And that's just talking about
the technical accuracy; I haven't even begun to
get into the semantic accuracy.
The Bloomberg article says speech recognition in the lab already applies semantic context to improve accuracy. The article also says 75% percent accuracy from 2012 is up to 92% today, and that we can expect super-human speech recognition online before 2017.
