SpinVox "Recognition" Is Often Expensive Human Transcription
An anonymous reader writes "SpinVox offers to convert voice messages to text using a system called D2 or 'the Brain.' According to BBC News, said 'Brain' is often of the old-fashioned kind: SpinVox is sending private voice messages to South Africa, the Philippines, and maybe Egypt to be typed by people in a call centre, despite being registered as keeping all private data inside Europe and claiming that the text is somehow anonymised. Insiders say they transcribed 'love messages, secret messages' and everything else from beginning to end, and the company is being bled dry by the cost: SpinVox has been locked out of one of their data centers over a payment dispute. SpinVox refuses to comment further on details — but according to their web page, they're 'enabling the Speech 3.0, Voice 3.0, and Business 3.0 markets,' whatever that means."
Niggers!
It says a lot about the world that no other nation yet has the 1st and 2nd amendment.
Hardly. Just because the US wrote theirs down in amendments and then wrote the exceptions and limitations down in laws doesn't mean that any other way of doing it is lacking.
Gee, a couple 200 year dead men write down a half-decent first-attempt at governance and all of a sudden it's gospel.
No curry nigger is gonna steal my job!
Calling him a troll just because he shoots your argument full of holes is plain stupid.
And moderation goes up and down on Slashdot. Maybe the later moderators saw him destroy your argument.
