What about corrections to sound-alike words? - MTs do contribute. sm

Can't think of an MT example, but say "troop" is a common word for a new dictator, but VR spells it "troupe" every time. After several corrections by MTs, eventually it spells it correctly thereafter. Didn't the MTs' corrections help train VR?

    - Easy answer ... - sm (Views: 538, 2018-09-18, 5:45 pm)
      - "training" the voice rec engine with no compensation," that's the dictators job - sm (Views: 533, 2018-09-19, 8:43 am)

        Exactly! - nm (Views: 470, 2018-09-20, 5:16 am)

      - Nevermind, just saw your explanation below. nm - MTs do contribute. (Views: 457, 2018-09-20, 4:14 pm)
      - If the correction was made and the correction with voice is put back through the voice rec - sm (Views: 511, 2018-09-21, 5:25 am)
        My whole point is, Are MTSOs taking the time to put the corrections back through - to the VR, so it can learn? sm (Views: 569, 2018-09-21, 5:31 am)
        The software could be programmed to do that automatically - StillAnMT (Views: 481, 2018-09-21, 7:24 am)

  - We were told the truth at Webmedx about voice wreck. - sm (Views: 748, 2018-09-19, 10:06 am)
    - You only train the engine if they put it through the VR a second time. - has to have a voice to learn,nm (Views: 598, 2018-09-19, 10:34 am)
- You have been misled. Voice rec learns from the dictator, not the person editing - sm (Views: 494, 2018-09-19, 8:22 am)
  - then how does it learn punctuation and correct grammar - sm (Views: 560, 2018-09-19, 9:30 am)
    - It can be programmed for certain things. In essence, your corrections are not - learned, without it hearing, sm (Views: 521, 2018-09-19, 9:37 am)
    - It keeps hearing 2015 and not 2018 when dictated. It types what it thinks it hears, that is - why called Voice Recognition, sm (Views: 441, 2018-09-19, 9:42 am)
      - I got tired quickly of the system constantly spitting - out 2000 18 for the year 2018 (Views: 433, 2018-09-19, 10:10 am)
        The system spits out what it thinks it hears. It's that simple - nm (Views: 653, 2018-09-19, 10:35 am)
        yes, the voice rec heard 2000 and then 18. it doesn't know it is a date - nm (Views: 669, 2018-09-19, 11:04 am)
    - I know how it works. It works by voice - nm (Views: 722, 2018-09-19, 9:48 am)
    - Punctuation and grammar. sm - Just a guess. (Views: 543, 2018-09-21, 11:38 am)
