Okami Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 I thought about this idea for some time, If there were some software that could recognize voice and put it into text it would surely speed up translations at least X2 or X3 as no matter how fast you type speaking is still faster. Then I checked around internet and found out that those softwares do exist and that most popular of them is Dragon NaturallySpeaking. So has anyone tried this out yet? Quote
sanahtlig Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 I seriously doubt transcription (typing speed) is the rate limiting step in translation of visual novels. Quote
Clephas Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 It isn't an issue. Rather, the accompaniment of voices makes it easier for those used to translating by ear, though most are using an extracted script in any case. Quote
REtransInternational Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Voice recognition today doesn't work too well at true realtime speeds; it will make a lot of homophonic mistakes. Unless your typing speed is really slowing you down (try practicing more and/or get a better keyboard) it probably won't give much improvement - you end up backspacing and correcting just as much.
