Stenomasks and Speech to Text
For a while I've had this StenoMask thing, which is a sound isolated box that can be talked into for speech recognition. I think the notational thing it's commonly used for is court reporters speaking into it for notes that can be transcribed later. Of course, my use case with it is writing without a keyboard and similar.
When I first started experimenting with it, I found that it was really hard to get any kind of acceptable accuracy with speech recognition software.
I've been trying it again now. Speech recognition software has gotten to the point where I can talk to it normally and it basically just works when transcribing.
Which makes the thing actually useful for me now.
This is what I am using https://whispertyping.com/
It would be interesting to try to give Dragon NaturallySpeaking, which is used by a lot of formal disability accommodation places, a try again. It's what psychologists and stuff have recommended for me for some of the relevant disabilities I have. I just haven't been able to get good accuracy out of past versions of it. Dragon is very expensive, as in hundreds of dollars, so doesn't feel worth it to give it another try.
