[Susan Kelmer]

Speech to Text is my term, if it is a software or program intended for you to speak text and it be "printed" on the screen.

Subject: [Athen] Speech Recognition or Speech to Text

ATHENers,
We are having a debate in our office about when we Dragon software or other similar software should we call it "Speech to Text" or "Speech Recognition" technology.   Which do you use when describing this technology to people at your university?  I have always used Speech recognition but some people thought Speech to Text was more understandable.
