The issue i have with this and will always with speech to text software. my voice will never pick it up unless im very clear and i take the time to prounouce a word or a chord?. I will have more luck writing in a stenograph keyboard or a chording keyboard then this. I like the fact that this technology assits for those who can have their voice be read by a computer. It will never work for me... Despite how modern a lot of this software has became.


You may want to look at your hardware setup. Modern (1-3 year old) laptops now generally have incredibly good echo cancellation microphone setups which massively improve recognition accuracy. If you are stuck with an older machine, try a USB based (integral ADC, the logical inverse of a DAC used for playing audio) lapel mic. These can be had off amazon for a tenner, but will infuriate you everytime you forget to take it off and get up from your chair... One last tip: My experience suggests the bluetooth microphone quality is not good enough for voice recognition tasks like this.


thank you for the suggestion. i will try to look into it. it just at the same i was in highschool the technology wasn't as good for my voice. so i just learned how to type faster. but im willing to give it a shot and i can be a like "beta tester" or contributer if needed. i tend to use wired stuff since i do music production and am very picky on how stuff comes out when im finally mixing them.
