Punctuation and grammar. sm - Just a guess.

Posted: Sep 21st, 2018 - 11:38 am In Reply to: then how does it learn punctuation and correct grammar - sm

Disclaimer: I really don't know how VR training works. My guess is that grammar and punctuation can be programmed based on the sentence structure, similar to MS Word underlining text it deems is incorrectly punctuated or structured.

    - Why did you stick around - The tone in this response (Views: 565, 2018-09-18, 5:33 pm)
    - 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)
        Doesn't matter - What matters is what the MTs were told... - sm (Views: 608, 2018-09-19, 8:01 pm)
        Exactly! - nm (Views: 469, 2018-09-20, 5:16 am)
    - Many people stayed around because they - had been doing this so long (Views: 778, 2018-09-19, 6:38 am)

  - I remember working at MModal and when - voice rec first started, I (Views: 883, 2018-09-19, 6:26 am)
  - You cannot train voice rec, your voice has to be heard by it, - hence, voice recognition, nm (Views: 826, 2018-09-19, 8:24 am)
    - What about corrections to sound-alike words? - MTs do contribute. sm (Views: 609, 2018-09-20, 4:12 pm)
      - Nevermind, just saw your explanation below. nm - MTs do contribute. (Views: 456, 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: 747, 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: 597, 2018-09-19, 10:34 am)
- You have been misled. Voice rec learns from the dictator, not the person editing - sm (Views: 493, 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: 440, 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: 652, 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: 668, 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.
- I've seen on this board where a lot of you think that other transcriptionists are - making mistakes, sm (Views: 658, 2018-09-19, 8:47 am)
