This kind of technology will be a blessing to those who are more susceptible to injury or those who are already suffering. I would be interested in experimenting with speech to text with one of our 6th grade classes. Karl Barksdale is a genius and an inspiration of leadership in preparing teachers for this technological innovation that will revolutionize productivity in the classroom and in the workplace. I have followed voice recognition for several years and was thrilled to see such success as was demonstrated by Karl Barksdale in our Speech Recognition workshop. Within only one day of training, most every teacher in the training session had at least 95 percent accuracy with 100 to 130 words per minute.
Effective communication is the most important tool needed to be successful in the workplace.
Voice recognition will be one of the most positive changes in technology in our lifetime. It will be an essential skill that brings along with it the need for good Business English skills in the workplace and our everyday life. We must leverage the technological developments available to us now through change in our teaching and training programs. I enthusiastically endorse Speaking Solutions' efforts in this campaign. To relieve the pain, I have been using voice dictation technology to fill-in forms, write narrative reports and update my bookkeeping records.
