Speech to Text: Is it working for you?

Is anyone finding the speech-to-text function accurate enough to be useful? I was really looking forward to this feature, but have found that it transcribes speech so badly that it takes nearly as much time to correct it as it would to do a complete transcription. The audio quality of my source is very good -- a well-recorded studio interview. Is anyone having better luck? If you are, do you have any tips? I'm using a Mac, and transcribing American English.
Thanks.
David

This feature works best with "talking heads". Someone speaking into a good quality mic, in a clear measured pace. The best results I've seen were from audio that was recorded while someone was either reading or speaking from a prompter.
That being said, I just read your post into my Macbook's built-in mic and got the following:
"is anyone finding the speech to text function accurate enough to be useful I was really looking forward to this feature but it fell to the transcript speech so badly that it takes nearly as much time to correct it as it were to do a complete transcription the audio quality of my sources very good they will recording studio interview is anyone having better luck if you are do you have any tips I'm using a Mac and Trent spreading American English thanks David"
Your mileage may vary... I selected "High Quality" for the transcription.

Oracle text search not working for WSDL files

I have a table (resources) with blob data type column (xml_data) and I've created context type index on that column. I've XSD and WSDL files stored in that blob column.
I can search XSD and XML files with a query with contains operator. But any search on the words from wsdl file returns zero results.I am not able to perform search on wsdl file.
Please advise me whether oracle text can work for WSDL files also ?
Query details
===========
create index myIndex on resources (xml_data) indextype is ctxsys.context;
select * from resources where contains(xml_data, 'searchword') > 0
Thanks a lot,
Santhi

Even though it isn't listed specifically, I can't see why it wouldn't work. The WSDL file should be a simple XML file, so in theory it shouldn't be any different to Oracle Text than the XML file that you loaded and searched successfully. Did you get any errors during indexing, and what do your tokens look like in the DR$MYINDEX$I.TOKEN_TEXT column?
Do you have a mini test case that didn't work for you? Perhaps we could play with it a bit.
Long term you might want to consider using section groups so that you can search "within" tags.

How's Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?

This is the first thread on the new Adobe Media Encoder forum, so I thought that it would be appropriate to open it up by just asking a general question:
How is Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?
Please be sure to install the Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (5.0.1) update. Instructions for updating are included in this post about the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update.
If you're having a specific problem that you want help with, or if you have a specific question, please start your own thread on this forum. This thread is intended for general feedback about how Adobe Media Encoder CS5 is working out for you.

First of all IT IS GREAT and I use it a lot I also used the CS4 version before!
But I have to report two issues about version CS5:
1. I bought the English version of the production premium CS5 but I have a German operating system (win7 64bit) all other adobe application are in English except Adobe Media Encoder it shows up in German language! Not a show stopper but should be fixed.
2. Recently I wanted to encode a video into an h264. I made some custom settings for that and the encoded video played very stuttered in Microsoft Media Player 12 (like 12fps instead of 25fps [settings were set correct in AME]) but fine in Quicktime and VLC Player (execpt for the gamma bug but that's an other story...)
I did a lot of testings and found the issue! Sometimes when you change a lot of the h264 settings (don't know when it happens exactly) Media Encoder seems to not set the fps correctly allthough AME shows 25fps in it's settings this setting is not encoded into the final file!
Quicktime and VLC seems not to care about the missing information but Windows Media Player gets confused.
It does not happens when using a preset in AME it only happens when changing a lot and using custom settings!
You can see the missing fps setting when right clicking the encoded file and choose properties (german:Eigenschaften) switch the tap to Details and there is no fps setting in the stuttering files but when encoded with a preset in AME there is the correct 25fps setting!
I have attached a screenshots to demonstrate it:
My workaround so far was to choose a preset with 25fps and close to my desired settings and change as few as possible - Fingers crosses and with a chance of 3/4 I was able to encode a working file containing the fps setting in it which plays perfect in Microsoft Media Player!
I hope you take a look into this issue because if you have a long file and you have to encode it again because it fails....... uiuiui
Thanks Todd for the possibility to give this direct feedback to Adobe
This is real support!

Does xf86-video-intel-git work for you?

I have a Lenovo R61 laptop with intel chipset, and i used to use xf86-video-intel-git from aur :
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18678
since last week it needed packages from new xorg. I installed new xorg from testing, build it and when i installed i could not use x. When i roll back to 2.9 from testing everything is fine.
Does the git driver work for you or is it broken for some chipsets(can't really remember of mine right now)?
edit: my chipset is GM965/GL960.

It sounds to me like either one of two things happened to you mechmg93. Either some incompatibility crept in with the new X server or your configuration became obsolete. Either way I think that this discussion is better with others that have [testing] enabled. Moving.

MythArchive. Does it work for you?

I have mythtv setup and everything working for me except this piece. I've been fighting this for some time. At first mytharchive simply would not start. I outputted to a log and it said that the output to dvd had not been compiled in. This was from the prebuilt packages in the Arch repos. So I downloaded the source and compiled. Then I was able to select what I wanted to archive and all, but it gave me errors when it actually got to the transcoding portion. Some unknown variable name, sorry I've forgotten the exact because its been awhile. So finally I decided to download the source for everything and compile that. Well I can't get mythplugins to compile, because of unknown variable errors during the make. At this point I have surrendered.
My question is simply this. Does it work for you with the latest releases? How did you install? Arch Packages? Compiled from source?

I had to get it working by compiling it myself i.e. using the mytharchive PKGBUILD, putting it in an empty directory and running makepkg.
This version of mytharchive requires make clean on each build, or, as I did, it needs to be built from a clean directory. See this for more details..... http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/229431

Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?

Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?
I can only apply it on an existing stroke but can't draw a new one with the selected profile. In fact if I change the profile to other than the default Uniform I also can't draw a new stroke with any other width than the default 1 point. This doesn't seem normal.
Using SC5 on a PC.

Another question on the same topic.
Once I add a new profile to the list is it possible to put it on top of the list. I need this because the Adobe people decided to put the list in a tiny scrollable window with only a few of the first profiles showing. If there is noting in the interface may be I have to modify some program files settings?

I solve my problem of black screen when starting up my Mac pro, namely by the button lighting and then i saw the login screen. Hopefully it works for you too.

Mac OSX v10.6.5: How's it working for you with Premiere Pro CS5?

If you've installed Mac OSX v10.6.5, let us know how it's working for you.
Please make sure that you're using the most recent update for Premiere Pro CS5 before you report back. We don't want to waste our time disentangling problems that were actually fixed in Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) from issues that still exist.

So, here is my experience:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751458?tstart=0
Basically:
Premiere Pro does not want to play the timeline (or the source window) anymore. Sometime it plays for 2 minutes, sometime for 2 seconde and then stops, but most of time, it wont play at all.
I can scroll over my timeline (no sound scrolling), but when I hit space bar (or clic on the play button) I can see the play button turning into a square (which mean it's now the stop button), but the timecodes doesn't run and the image doesn't play.
So I suggest people to not being stupid as I was and to wait before to update... And hope a solution to come soon.

How is the After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update working for you?

The After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update is available. It fixes a lot of crashes, errors, and other problems, and it adds some capabilities for RED (R3D) footage and the Apply Color LUT effect.
After you've installed the update, let us know how it's working for you.

Todd,
I installed it over the weekend after seeing it mentioned in my RSS feed and have been using it heavily for a few days. The updater launched from within AE did not find the update. I had to go to the download page that was linked to in the feed. Installed from that download with no problem on Windows 7.
AE 10.0.1. has crashed on me twice over the weekend. Both times I was scrubbing through a composition that uses a pretty intense plug-in (Video Gogh). I would submit a bug report to Adobe or the plug-in developer, but the problem has not been repeatable. Also, an AE composition dynamically linked to PPro may have made PPro crash. I wish I could give more details on that but I was, as usual, trying to do too many things at one time.
Other than that, everything went smoothly during many hours of compositing in AE.

How is the New Forum Structure Working for You?

Just wanted to ask how the breakout of CS5 and then other PrPro/Pr versions is working for you.
Though not all that warm to the idea, I have to say that it seems to be working nicely. I have seen few posts in the wrong spots, though some might be better suited for Hardware.
My fears have NOT been realized, so I am glad that the powers that be never consulted me, as I would probably have turned thumbs down. Early observations indicate that I would have been wrong.
What do you think?
Hunt
PS - remember, "points" are at stake here folk!

Well, since I was one of those who asked that CS5 be in a separate section, I like the fact that it now IS by itself
As far as posts in the wrong place... that will always happen and all we can do is continue to point people in the right direction
I scan for new messages in ALL the Premiere sub-Fora, and will continue to do so to keep learning

My Apple TV and IPad drop after x mintues from "Home Sharing". To restart it, I need to close iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, open it , then I can listen again X minutes (15-90 minutes) to my music via "Home Sharing". Any idea why? What worked for you?

I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

Does the RSS feed for Dev Forums work for you?

Does the RSS feed (lower right corner of the screen)
http://discussions.apple.com/rss.jspa?feed=rss/rssmessages.jspa?forumID=727
work for you? I tried to add the URL to one of the RSS readers on my iPhone but none could identify a working feed. Any hints?

Well, I think they just got the RSS image link wrong. The correct link is:
http://discussions.apple.com/rss/rssmessages.jspa?forumID=727
Works fine in all readers.
(I still wonder how others have gotten the link I initially posted working... )

Vinagre vnc client -- does the scaling work for you?

hello fellaz,
i tried vinagre from aur (both vinagre and vinagre-tweak) but scaling option was disabled, although i think it should work (gtk-vnc has been compiled with --with-gtkglext=yes). does it work for you?
thanks for reply,
joe
Last edited by jose1711 (2008-04-26 11:35:29)

my self-built packages don't work with scaling aswell.
however, vinagre should be in extra anyway, as it is officially part of gnome 2.22, so it should be in gnome-extra.

Versions- Which One Worked For You?

All my iTunes versions worked wonderfully for several years until I upgraded to v7.4.
What was your best iTunes version that did what you wanted without ruling your computer? I can't remember my version before v7.4. (Yup,, I'm stupid.)
All I need is my music library, iStore for new music, radio URL's, and multiple speakers.
Not much to ask and my previous version did every thing GREAT. BUT,, like a dumb, take things for granite that all will be OK, trusting duffus, I installed v7.4 and my world of daily music, either play lists or radio went away. (I changed on August 23, 2007)
What version worked for you???? I'm thinking that either v6.0.5 or v7.0.2???
I just need to go back to a "Plain Jane" version. I don't need all the "bells & whistles". V7.4 seems to be completely in control of my computer.
Sorry to ramble.........

Robert,
Man,,,, Thanks for the input! I thought I was living on the Moon. None of my other posts were responded to.
Hey,, The Library is the least of my worries. I've become a "pro" at removing a version and reinstalling. At this point "PlayLists" are not a priority. I just need to get back to where I was.... Meaning radio URL's connecting.
I think that to do a "go-back-to-earlier-version" I'll wind up re formatting my hard drive 'cause I've tried to revert to v6.0.5, but the uninstall for v7.4 doesn't clean up all the little traces of v7.4.
Oh well, I love iTunes and I'll try your version......
Again, I really thank you for responding.........
