VDK 5.6.0 - 25th March 2024

Summary

We are excited to announce the release of VDK 5.6.0, a feature release that marks a significant advancement in our voice recognition technology suite. With this latest version, we unveil an enhancement to our dictation capabilities, designed to meet the evolving needs of our users more effectively.

What's New in VDK 5.6.0?

• Enhanced Dictation: Our latest innovation introduces a more sophisticated version of dictation that we are proud to present as Dictation. This new feature brings the power of rich text formatting to your voice recognition tasks, incorporating punctuation and linguistic nuances seamlessly into the transcription process. The dictation is ideal for users requiring high-fidelity text transcriptions, making it a perfect tool for detailed note-taking, content creation, and comprehensive documentation.

• Continuous Recognition: We have also refined our existing dictation technology, now rebranded as Continuous Recognition, to cater to a different set of user needs. Continuous recognition, formerly known under our dictation umbrella, offers streamlined, unformatted transcription, providing a raw, continuous output of spoken words. This feature is particularly suited for applications requiring a lightweight solution for voice to text conversion, including voice-controlled commands and real-time speech transcription, especially when paired with Natural Language Understanding (NLU) for enhanced voice control intent-based commands.

Why the Distinction?

This delineation between Enhanced Dictation and Continuous Recognition is driven by our commitment to providing tailored solutions that match our users' specific requirements. Whether you're seeking high-quality, formatted text transcriptions or efficient, unformatted speech recognition, VDK 5.6.0 delivers with precision and flexibility.
We understand the importance of clear communication and have made these changes with both new and existing customers in mind. For those who have been utilizing our previous Dictation feature, the transition to Continuous recognition will be seamless, offering the same reliability you've come to expect, now with a title that more accurately reflects its capabilities.
