So to use a voice-activated interface with my computer would take some training on my part. Lots of training. Which means you must decide from the outset to invest the necessary time into training your software to understand your speech patterns. Even then, after you've invested the time, you'll only have a product which, today, is by all accounts only about 90 to 95 percent accurate. One of the major complaints made about voice recognition products is their error rate.
Error rate is defined as the percentage of words the product misinterprets.
It is a tedious process to add dictionary words, and without them, the odds for any voice recognition product to err on industry or legal specific words are much greater. Many of the major players in the voice recognition market now offer legal specific editions. These special editions contain larger dictionaries, and other special integrated links to increase your productivity. This attribute increases productivity, and decreases the error rate. Without the legal specific edition, you'd probably have to re-edit the document.
