I'm not a programmer or a developer, but I'm a pretty smart end user. I can follow instructions, and think my way through things. I'm seeing the step-by-step guide, but I'm wondering if it can really be as simple as "do what step one says, do what step two says."
If there is anybody out there who wants to take a look at this and give me an opinion as to how difficult this will be to install and use, I'd appreciate it.
Well that's what I thought, but then I second-guessed myself figuring that maybe I was missing something complex and codey. Like I can see myself suddenly at at command prompt wiping out my entire OS by accident. (Yes, I know that's highly, highly unlikely, but you get the gist.)
I know I'm out of my depth here. Maybe I'll just have to bite the bullet and try it. I really could use some good transcription software that doesn't require training. Dragon is utterly useless. From the test I ran with Watson, it seems better. It's far from perfect and some of the mistakes are hilarious, but even if it's 60 or 70 per cent accurate it would be really helpful.
"npm" is just the manager for JavaScript packages. The command is just the installation line, followed buy a build command to be able to run the program.
All of the complicated stuff after it is merely opening the websocket so the commands are sent back and forth to the server, and to tell "cf push" what to actually *do* with the program (in the yml document in the current directory). You definitely won't blow up the system with those commands.
As I said, I was only joking about blowing things up. My main concern was that I really don't know what I'm doing, and I wasn't sure it was just typing a command line or if there was something much more intricate that was required of me.
Not yet. I don't use Chrome or Android. I generally try to keep Google out of my life as much as possible (outside of the search engine functionality which I haven't really been able to replace. DuckDuckGo only works so well and hasn't proven itself a completely reliable substitute).
I liked the idea that I could run Watson locally. I'm sure it's still going to be reporting back to Big Blue, but for whatever reason, that doesn't bother me as much as telling on me to Google.
As Po'P says, Androids speech-to text is very usable, it's just not
as convenient to dictate sms/emails as it is type them in a lot of
circumstances. So after initially trying to switch to it, I slid back to
stabbing at the touch keyboard.
I have an ongoing need to transcribe audio files lasting anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes all from different speakers. I'm the world's worst typist.
As I said, I ran file through the Watson test and the results weren't terrible. Some things were wildly off, but in general I could make sense of what was outputted. In comparison, Dragon produced things that might be classified as modern poetry run back and forth through a language translation program. Actually, Dragon's results were pretty hilarious. A colleague and I ended up laughing our heads off at the results. Admittedly, Dragon wasn't created with my needs in mind. It's supposed to work for a single person who has time to train it, but sadly that's not my situation.
