[Athen] Speech Recognition or Speech to Text

[info at karlencommunications.com]

And Dragon identifies its “speech to text” tool as “Transcribe”

 

Camtasia uses the term “Speech to Text to describe its automated “captioning” process.

 

Just to muddy the water! LOL

In my opinion, "speech recognition" is more accurate for the Dragon product. It allows hands-free operation that is so much more than dictation.

 

I save "speech to text" for describing the comparatively limited dictation functionality on mobile devices.

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.
