Words being misspelled #169

Closed mimoraes closed 6 years ago

mimoraes commented 7 years ago

Almost all the time the phrases come wrong, with different words spoken. Even going over https://speech-to-text-demo.mybluemix.net/ , I'm getting misspelled words.

Does anyone know how do I improve that? How to listen/show the output exactly the same have spoken?

Hi Michelle,

Can you provide more details of what you are doing? What model are you trying to use? The default models don't work very well with strong accents like in my case. What I usually do is to create a custom model.

Are you trying the demo with an audio file or your microphone? It could be that your microphone is introducing some noise into the recorded audio. I saw that happening with some laptops like the Thinkpads.

info: Hello from TJBot! My name is Rose.
You can ask me to introduce myself or tell you a joke.
Try saying, "Rose, please introduce yourself" or "Rose, who are you?"
You can also say, "Rose, tell me a joke!"

Hi, @mimoraes I think this is not a problem with this sample but the service. We have made progress with the accuracy and added new features since this issue was opened.

I would suggest you try creating customization with the words that people with use with TJBot to increase the accuracy.

I'm closing this since it's not a problem with this repository but the service
