Transcript from Multi Voice Recognition to be used as Evidence
August 25, 2020 - For the first time a court case is based on a
multi voice recognition transcript as the main evidence. It was
when Frank Levin took part in a dispute with four people that
resulted in a fired gun that killed Adam Denny. The three other
all testified that Frank had pulled the trigger, while Frank
claims that according to the transcript, it clearly states that
he was not the one holding the gun.
The challenge for Frank Levin's attorney in this case is to make
a multi voice recognition transcript valid as proof of evidence
in itself, since the conversation was not recorded. Frank had
his voice recognition software in "text mode only" on his cell
phone, so during the conversation no talk was saved; only a text
file was created. The case is assumed to mainly be about the
reliance in this technology which in the long run could benefit
the development of voice recognition software.
Multi voice recognition has become widely popular for the last
years, especially within the business world, since it allows all
meetings to be recorded and transcripted simultaneously, with
every quote related to the correct person. When the meeting is
over, everyone gets a transcript of the meeting, easily
searchable for the correct information. More and more people are
also creating official "talklogs" where they record everything
they say and publish it as diaries.
