How does speech-recognition software compare to an expert lip-reader in accuracy?




BillieBob


Clearly the lip-reader has the disadvantage of needing to see the speaker speak.
In a noisy restaurant however it is the computer that would be unable to translate.
So given a lip-reader that can see the speaker in a room together with a speech-
recognition system which one is more accurate?
Has the hearing-impaired community embraced this new technology and if so do they carry a portable system with them?



Answer
Technology has come a long way. EX my phone's voice recognition software is superb and cuts out background noise. I was blaring rammstein and spoke a text message to my girlfriend and it worked. Its a Motorola Droid btw.

What is the best GPS system?

With turn by turn directions with street names!!!!


Answer
Garmins are GREAT GPS systems so go with a Garmin Nuvi! From there it all depends on what features you want. General rule of thumbs is the higher the model number the more features and the more it cost. You can get a simple GPS that will get you where you need to go for about $130 or you can break bank with a high tech GPS towards $600 all depends on what features you want. Whatever model you choose to get I recommend getting the one that ends in '5' this is a newer model so the processor is faster, it finds a signal faster, and my favorite it shows you your current speed limit along with the speed limit of the road you are traveling on.

All Nuvi's will get you where you need to go even the lowest model will get you there the same way the more expensive ones would the differences are the costly features such as

*Text to speech is the ability to speak street names. A GPS will usually say something like "turn right in 3.2 miles" and then display the street name in writing but with text to speech the GPS will say "turn right in 3.2 miles onto Jackson Rd."
*Traffic- ability to see traffic jams and plan a route to avoid them. This is a yearly or monthly extra fee or free with Nuvi's that end with 'T'.
*Voice recognition. The ability to speak addresses into the Garmin without entering them in by hand.
*Bluetooth you can connect your phone to your GPS wirelessly if your phone allows it so you can place or answer calls on the GPS without the need to stumble around for your phone.
*MP3- can play mp3 through the GPS
*FM Transmitter- allows you to hear the GPS through your car speakers.

It sounds like you want a GPS that has text to speech so I would recommend the Garmin Nuvi 260. You can check out the reviews here, also the link has a chart called "Which nüvi is Best for You" which can help you find a GPS based on the features you want.
