Speech Recognition in The 80s and 90s
- IBM Tangora (the 1980s) could adjust to the speaker’s voice. It still required slow, clear speech and no background noise, but it allowed for increased flexibility through data clustering and the prediction of upcoming phonemes based on recent patterns.
- It was only in 1997 that the world’s first “continuous speech recognizer” (ie. one no longer had to pause between each word) was released, in the form of Dragon’s NaturallySpeaking software. Capable of understanding 100 words per minute, it is still in use today (albeit in an upgraded form) and is favored by doctors for notation purposes.
