Yet I was able to grasp the gist of her travel experience as well as recognize what Amy was trying to say where the tool transcribed incorrectly. For example, \u201c<em>Covid head<\/em>\u201d likely means Covid hit and \u201c<em>once currently in Mexico<\/em>\u201d probably means one is currently in Mexico. Compared to my transcription, I found Amy\u2019s story easier to follow and understand, whereas I found mine challenging to follow due to the rambling nature of my dictation.\u00a0\u00a0She is probably a better narrator since her speech was captured comparatively well.<\/p>\n<p>We had very similar conclusion about the limitations of voice-to-text, more specifically about the lack punctuation but also how inconsistently the transcription tools applications worked \u2013 for instance, capitalizing some words but not others.<\/p>\n<p>While I was reasoning the clear-cut differences between oral and written storytelling, Amy contends that neither is right or wrong but that they are simply different, which I agree is an apt conclusion. This task illustrated that both forms are an art with advantages and drawbacks and so it is important, as Amy notes, to consider the form that befits the story.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec540ajazieni\/2021\/09\/24\/task-3-voice-to-text\/ I chose to look at Amy\u2019s experience converting speech to text because she noted right away that the story&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74105,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-linking-assignment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/rlalani540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/rlalani540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/rlalani540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/rlalani540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/74105"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/rlalani540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/rlalani540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":148,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/rlalani540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions\/148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/rlalani540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/rlalani540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/rlalani540\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
