I run a speech recognition company (www.speechmatics.com) and we've
developed some really cutting-edge technology that means that general
speech recognition is far more accurate than it has been in the past
(I've worked in this area for 30 years and run many speech companies).
What I'd like to do is to integrate this into LibreOffice Writer so that
anyone can quickly and easily edit the speech recognition output until
it is a perfect, beautifully formatted transcript. This will be far
faster than conventional audio transcription and so save very many
thousands of people a lot of time.
To work really well it has to be a very tight integration as the speech
recogniser provides a very good predictive model for what comes next.
It will be a completely different mode of operation which remaps keys to
make corrections as fast and efficiently as possible. It also has to
play the audio so that the user can hear what was really said in order
to make the corrections.
I'm very serious about getting this idea out and would like to engage a
developer who is fluent with the low level internals of Writer to make
this happen.
Please get in touch if you are interested.
Tony
