Speech to text recognition able to automatically understand and transcribe any voice is the major foundation stone of a Voice interface system, not to mention a universal translator.  Imagine never needing to restrict what you watch to simply those items in languages you understand. 

This will not only have a huge impact in allowing universal accessibility to knowledge, it will definitely improve international relationships at the level of individuals, who will no longer need to learn a different language just to talk to someone around the world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Huh, Valkyrie, I must link to this Disneyfied John Henry clip (introed by Herr James Earl Jones), at least once a week as a demo of where Closed captioning Automated Speech To Text Natural Language Processing is at, and where it is going.

(Surprised that you didn&#039;t use it yourself to highlight your points in this piece.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGglKPqG16s

The CC-Transcription Accuracy Rate is for shit, and laughable.

For now.

But here&#039;s the thing of, it&#039;s one of the first clips they ever ran through the machine and not only does it handle *multiple* fe/male voices **in addition** to Mister Darth Vader&#039;s, but it ALSO attempts to machine transcribe the singing.

That was the first time that I&#039;ve ever seen that.

Now, at the Current Rates of Improvement for Speech to Text Transcription the projections are that it will hit Accuracy Rates of &gt;±95% (to include Scottish brogues), no later than the end of the year 2016.

That&#039;s going to be a HUGE game changer and I am curious as to what you think the impact will?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[kid, there is &#039;no proof of concept&#039; when you are comparing totally unrelated concepts, that will never even be related in any manner that isn&#039;t logic defying.

		<description><![CDATA[@Angela:

Val&#039;s point about DNA was that it serves as a proof of possibility of nanoscale molecular assembly with negligible rates of error, as was made explicitly clear. Your canard that robots are not (currently) made of DNA is either a deliberate misreading of this plainly stated point or a betrayal of the fact that you are not very bright. By the way, a nice touch of class, pointing to your supposed academic credentials whilst belittling someone as &quot;little man.&quot; You are a pompous embarrassment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey, awesome!  You found my website!  

Anyone else interested can find me at www.ianmonroe.com, or on twitter or facebook!

See, &quot;Angela&quot;?  You don&#039;t have to hide behind pseudonyms.  Be proud of your work.  Show it off.  Point me to your published research.  Show me what you&#039;ve done.  Prove you&#039;re worth talking to.  Otherwise, I&#039;m going to be forced to conclude that you&#039;re just full of shit, and you obviously wouldn&#039;t want that.  You seem to care quite desperately about what we think of you.

Unless... you have something to hide?  Or maybe you&#039;re lying?  I mean, why else wouldn&#039;t you take ownership of your own words?  You&#039;re not a coward, are you?

ps -- I think that&#039;s the first time anyone has ever called me an occultist.  That&#039;s just darling.]]></description>
