My Apple Watch dictates literally perfectly. Apple has done such a fabulous job on so many accessibility fronts, so why is it that speech recognition is so lame? I would strongly encourage Apple to put some serious work into this area, and as much as it would increase accessibility and productivity for many people. I am quite sure that I am not the only person with or without a disability who would like to be able to type reasonably accurately by voice on the iPhone, not to mention a Mac. But I would still prefer to do things like emails and texts on the iPhone because it is so much simpler. Recently I purchased dragon NaturallySpeaking for PC and I use this for dictating longer documents. But the poor accuracy on the iPhone complicates matters.
I don't even bother trying to dictate longer documents.Īs a general matter, I find the iPhone much simpler to use than a desktop computer as a screen reader user. Whenever I dictate an email like this or a text message, I have to prove and edit it to make sure it is readable. This leads to a profound limitation in how useful my iPhone is for me and for anyone else who wants to talk into their phone and have it talk back to them. But open speech dictation is terrible and only seems to have gotten worse over the past few years (by my personal subjective opinion and also according to a number of other people I have spoken with). Issuing commands to the iPhone through voice control works quite well. My strong complaint as with the speech recognition accuracy for dictating text with voice control. In consequence, I use both VoiceOver and voice control on my iPhone and MacBook Pro. I am a long time Apple user who has a visual impairment and also a repetitive stress injury. I would welcome your perspectives on the matter and also any suggestions as to how to get this matter to the right people.
I wanted to share the following feedback that I sent to Apple accessibility.
