GoogleDocs Speech to text doesn't work
Closed, LockedPublic

Description

I wanted to work with GoogleDocs speech-to-text function but the recognition rate was too bad. In Chrome under Windows 10 it worked very well. Is there anything that can be done about it? Many thanks.

Not by us, but if you file a bug on the Chromium issue tracker maybe they can take a look.

@feuerstein I tried it now in Chrome on Solus Mate, since it doesn't work in Firefox. It worked fine for me detecting English (UK). Maybe you have to change the language or it's because of your hardware ?

@JoshStrobl It's not that speech-to-text isn't working. It is indeed working in Google Chrome under Solus but the quality of the engine is just not good and doesn't match the results I get under Windows 10 using an identical version of Google Chrome. I'm wondering whether the Chrome built is a totally different one under Solus or maybe there are any other optimizations that can be done?
@mate-user Did you compare the engine in an identical version of Google Chrome under Windows 10?

I already answered this question. File a bug with the Chromium devs, thank you.
