Tags: tleo,taleo,POV The Harder You Try The Luckier You Get Posted on Aug 26, 2008 (10 days ago) I won a contest. One of my favorite applications/sites Text2Go was holding a contest last month. I didn't realize they were, but I won anyway. The rules were the person who used their new speech correction feature to correct the most words in the shared database won a prize. You see, the new version of Text2Go has a cool new utility where you can correct the pronunciation of words for the TTS voices you use. It's very fast and shares your corrections automatically. This is very important if you want to understand the words that the speech engine is reading. In my normal day-to-day use of the software, I compiled and corrected my own list of words all the time - I simply wanted better pronunciation from the voices. Text2Go also allows you to upload your corrections to their server - it will also sync other people's corrections to your library... which is an awesome enhancement. Low and behold, I had more corrections than anyone. So what did I win?the prize was a pair of nice Sennheiser CX300 headphones that I can used with my iPod to listen to spoken word but the music on my iPod. Here's a picture FYI:
