[nfbcs] speech training scripts

Thu Jan 29 08:47:02 UTC 2009

Thanks Dean.  That suggests that something else is going on.  I began the
project expecting to have very good results.  When I didn't I was surprised
because others had indicated positive results.  I'm wondering though why the
training indicated it could understand me at every step and then when I
tried to simply dictate into a wordpad file mostly what I got was utter
garbage. Just like with Dragon, it was very well spelled garbage though.
There's got to be something else going on.  I think I'll delete the training
I've done and start over.

Well, my results and those of several very proficient users on the Vista
Speech Recognition list have been that the two programs are about equal in
recognition, with a few users stating that Vista is superior to Dragon.

Thanks for the help.  I was anticipating a problem that didn't exist.  The
speech training for dragon gives you a paragraph at a time and it's easier
to read the script text separately.  However, with the speech training
modules in Vista there is only one sentence at a time which one can read
with the jaws cursor.   I was using jaws 10 but it didn't see the line of
text and read it.  I found I had to switch to the jaws cursor. 
As a side comment though.  I went through two of the speech training modules
and still the system could understand very very little of what I said in
dictation--missing sixty to seventy percent of my words.  Dragon on the
other hand recognized over ninety-five percent of my words without any
training at all.  If this is any indication of the quality of Microsoft's
efforts, it isn't very good.
If anyone has had more success please let me know.

I'm not sure what scripts you are referencing here.  For Windows Vista
Speech Recognition, using either the package(s) from Serotek, System Access
or Satogo, one can get feedback during the training process. This is also
true for those who own J-Vist.  In addition, if you acquire the Speech
Recognition Toolkit, which costs $15 but which they will give freely to
anybody with a disability who uses the system, you can create your own
training texts.

Does anyone know where I can find the scripts for the speech training module
in Windows Vista?
