Suppliers have grown tired of supporting spinvox and hearing the ‘Spin’ in Spinvox. County Court claims have been issued. Lets hope they do the honest thing.

Ask *anyone* in the speech recognition business, anyone, about claims that continuous speech from a random person’s voice (i.e. untrained speech rec engine) can be automatically converted with 97 per cent accuracy, and they’ll tell you pretty quickly what they think about that.

It is well known in the industry that the SpinVox claims were, at best, very “exaggerated”.

A pity, as their marketing is to die for, and their core offer of VM-to-Text is a service that lots of people like and are willing to pay for.
