Fun thought on Bitcointalk having this particular feature.

[DaNNy001]

Hello friends

I would say I was rather confused on chosing the right topic head but still pardon me for the one I choose and although the topic created is just to fill up my curiosity and I would also like to have user opinion on this thought of mine.

Well so I was thinking how would users feel if actually there was some kind of Voice translation writing mode here in the forum so as to aid those who are not too good at typing or expressing themselves very well through writing to actually speak out their thought and it gets written down correctly for them  .

Although I know it's a crazy idea but still it's a free community so I decided to speak out to see how many people actually have similar thoughts on the idea although I have a feeling I would be criticise on this but it's worth throwing the question out there. Lol

It's a good suggestion anyway but I doubt if theymos will implement that and also what you should know is that write is the best why because some people don't speaks fluently maybe their intonation might be bad from your hearing. I could remembered a VC we did then on TG and many of our people finds it very hard to grasped what the foreigners were saying. So at the end it was summarize and documented to enable those who didn't get the whole speaking reads through the doc. So in may opinion that option should be there as well but somehow it could be very much better if this forum is like an app I think that will work very fine and smart, although it would consumer alot of space and we might be finding it difficulty to load the site since is on web.

Hmm, okay I see your point there mate but I don't think I intend it to be posted as a voice note although it will also be cool to see that but like you said alot of confusion will be in place in terms of grasping the language intonation. I actually was on the idea of user actually speaking there mind and then some kind of software actually write it down as writing clearly just like the Google voice option in the phones.

This is actually a nice feature to have. It saves a lot time especially if you have a lot you want to say and you can also multi task while being on the forum. It’s a good idea IMO, but since this “microphone to text” feature is already available on the keyboards of mobile devices and I use it often as well. I wonder if Theymos would consider it a bugging concern for the forum.

[Sophokles]

This will be a disruptive and unnecessary feature for BitcoinTalk. The only use case i see is... Some of the OG members from the forum who usually write mega threads could use these features. If any forum members have any defaults in their typing hands, a build-in feature like this might help them as well.

I think this will just increase the work force of the forum development team because of the regular maintenance. This will increase the spam content and reduce the quality of the post because of the grammar mistake and inaccuracy. Also I don't think they have any plans to implement these features at any time.

[Ever-young]

This could be a cool idea, as their are lot of wasted English and ideas in someone’s head which they can’t even voice out, but the forum don’t actually need to enable something like that I other for them to voice out their mind and it will be written down.

Anyone who is having issue with writing technology have now made it very easy for the in the aspect of allowing them to use the voice recognition which usually comes with almost all keyboards for the mobile users they will just have to enable it and do the talking why the keyboard helps them in doing the writing, then they can check it back again to see if what was written is actually what they pronounced, since intonation is really lot of people’s problem.

As for those who are using pc, they can also look for such app if they don’t have one on them they can install it from online, if not some pc usually have that option if am correct you just have to locate it and activate it, those who are not good in writing will survive even without the help of the forum activating such in it, as that will be another task added to the todo list.

Your idea is a nice one but I don't think that such feature in needed on Bitcointalk because we can use such features by installing simple extensions. One such extension is "Voice In" that's available on chrome web store and it help to write anything that you speak. If we have such speech to text dictation extensions already available then it isn't a good thing to increase load on the Bitcointalk webhost machine by adding such processor intensive features. The forum is working well in its simplistic design and even someone with a low-end system can use this forum without any trouble. I hope that extension will work for you and you will enjoy using it.

[Mr.suevie]

Would have been a cool idea mate, but I don't think there is any use for this option as it's already there as in your browser and you can simply just it there
 And I like the way you actually just threw your thought about this at least you weren't afraid to do because many people on the forum here are always afraid of been criticized but not knowing that's actually the way we grow as correction guide you be a better person.

Yo, been afraid of expressing yourself simply because you are avoiding backlash or criticism on a public space such as this is quite a funny thought to have. What's the worst that can happen? assuming you get roasted for airing your views on here, that's where it ends. that's one of the perks to anonymity We are in a forum where there's freedom of speech and so what if he gets lashed? He grows a thick skin. Besides, it's not every posts that receives such attack.
 It's a good idea or suggestion the Op brought up, but I doubt Theymos will be bothered to implement such a feature since such can be found on our keyboards, right?

[Stalker22]

Enabling this feature should be done on the client side, not the forum side. Any client application (in this case, a web browser) can support this feature depending on the platform. And I am willing to bet that there are already many browser extensions or virtual keyboards available with speech-to-text functionality. However, I am not sure how good they are and how effective they would be for forum use.

Not too bad...

How you finna be able to read without getting inclined to writing 'em words?? It's even more easier to write than read...yeahh? I'm not actually referring to them usual slang you borrow on your daily interactions, conversations... I mean, just like you said - being able to express exactly what you want, with the right words... That's the stress...but you gotta be able to form these words and write them during the learning process....so the act of speaking fluently is made simple when there's proper understanding on how to write them words... You get my point??
Secondly, we've got them web tools too; just like the screenshot from a cellphone above.
The old man's been stimulated with too many patches by gloves already ain't no way he's gonna consider this...

In theory, writing is easier than speaking, so if someone has difficulty conveying through words then ideally it will be more difficult for him to convey through voice. So, I'm not sure that a proposal like this is effective, especially if during the discussion someone is typing and someone is recording their voice, it will look chaotic. In addition, it is more difficult if someone does not understand English, translating voice is more difficult than translating text

What's more, this is a web forum so ideally it's still written, if it's via voice it might be like a podcast

I do not think we face any such issue on this forum. You can post any idea/suggestion and people will respond to it in a quite nice way.
I haven't seen people make fun of anyone even if he or she asks a very basic question etc.  Yeah, but if you try to be smart and try to scam people then no one will spare you.

The voice typing feature is already available in your browser and you can easily use it. It has been explained in the above post too. However, as per my experience, you cannot fully trust voice typing because many times it will understand the wrong word and therefore type in the wrong word. You need to manually check the voice written post before you can actually post it.

For this to be integrated there should be an existing Modification software existing, can be modified on the script without harming or creating a bug in the forum, if it will benefit the majority of the forum and Theymos agreed to put that, if not the only chance is from outside source.

Not really a crazy idea, for developers anything is possible, curiosity is the mother of creation.

[mk4]

Unnecessary feature to implement on Bitcointalk or any other online forum itself; as people have mentioned: it makes a lot more sense to have this feature implemented either on your keyboard app, your browser app, or through a browser plugin/extension as for it to be usable for all social media.

I immediately thought of this. How can you express your thoughts if you cannot formulate them by typing? A lot of unnecessary words, like...damn, uh, in short... This is called water. A good post is good because it is written correctly, does not contain unnecessary words, and, on the contrary, has meaningful value. Besides everything, OP, you put on a signature; what should managers do in this case? Voice post?

[bayu7adi]

If what you're referring to is the implementation of "voice dictation,"^[1] the best approach, in my opinion, is still to keep it separate between this forum and the application. The spoken word's intonation can sometimes be unclear for the microphone to capture accurately, ultimately leading you to re-edit your text to ensure there are no typos.

I've used this feature before when my keyboard was slightly damaged and uncomfortable to use for typing.

[Gladitorcomeback]

This feature is already available for mobile users. G board give you this feature anywhere in the browser. you can directly translate also(speak in one language and written in other) but problem is this idea is not working properly as many words are not written properly and we have to correct the error after writing. Punctuations are also not added at right place. we have to check our whole sentence for mistake which will take time. At short we will not get what we think (type faster)so why not write himself.

[PytagoraZ]

Besides everything, OP, you put on a signature; what should managers do in this case? Voice post?

Hahaha....If that happens, there may be a rule from the campaign manager that a certain number of minutes must be recorded, and the manager must listen to each voice in multiple languages ​​to see whether the recording is on topic or not. I didn't imagine anything like that and there aren't many tools for analyzing sound recordings


Maybe it's a good idea to torture the campaign managers... 

[The Sceptical Chymist]

If any forum members have any defaults in their typing hands

It's "faults" just to be clear--and I swear as I get older I think I'm going to become one of those people whose fingers are so gnarled up with arthritis that they need a voice-to-text machine in order to write things on a computer.  Lol.  Not kidding.

Why would bitcointalk have to implement a feature like this?  I don't know what's out there as far as translation software/apps/whatever, but if there was a program that let you speak Spanish (for example) and have the written text translated into English, you could have it done up into a standard text document and then copy/paste it into a post, no?

Frankly I would have no problem with members doing this as long as the translation is good.  People have been using shit like Google translate for years to make posts here, with some horrifying results--and to try to obfuscate plagiarism, too.  Maybe if AI gets advanced enough, quickly enough, members who can't speak a lick of English can be writing profound statements about bitcoin in impeccable English, and nobody would be able to tell that they had a little bit of....help.

Then again, the rule of the forum is: whatever can be abused by a bunch of shitposters will be abused beyond anyone's imagination.
