[Freeswitch-users] speech to text engine

[Hector Geraldino]

It think it's because of the acoustic model they used.

Somebody explained me that, for example, Siri's recognition accuracy is not optimal when you try to recognize the speech from a phone conversation (8khz audio), and that is because of the acoustic model they've used to train the grammar.

Siri itself is not available on Android. There was an app that claimed to be Siri for Android, published by 'Official App' but it was taken down by Google. It was reported to be using Google's API.

Google's API for transcription from what I can se is supposed to be used for Android OS only. It's not really clear if it can be used for other purposes. Sirius doesn't have an external API for us to use (no surprise there) and it most likely is using Nuance for transcription.

I've tried out the script on a few vm files I have. It doesn't really work well for mobile calls. It worked extremely well on some pre recorded messages I made (the number you have reached is not in service...) and it worked really well. Maybe Google likes me?

I'll do some research - course SIRI is only happy with American English reliably

Well my point wasn't cost or legal as do we know if Google is open for all use.

There are some articles about people using SIRI on Android etc

I'm curious to know if there is a generic way to make a request of SIRI to do speech to text...
