    :microphone: Sample Node.js Application for the IBM Watson Speech to Text Service

  • One of the loudest complaints people seem to have about individual flaming casters is difficulty in understanding their voices during the heat of battle. To scientifically address this, I picked a voice line for each caster and ran it through a speech to text program (https://speech-to-text-demo.ng.bluemix.net/). Comparing the expected text of the voice line to the transcribed version by the program revealed interesting data (see Table 2 below). While there were some heroes that were fairly comprehensible (Batrider, DawnBreaker, Invoker, Snapfire, and especially Lina, who scored a perfect score), it became clear that this criticism had a significant amount of validity; 9/14 (64.3%) flaming casters are practically incomprehensible. Phoenix is the worst offender of this group, whose squawks are completely unintelligible, followed not far behind by other poor speakers such as Doom (“Mess with Doom, you get the horns” was only heard as “Yes”). Given a significant majority of flaming casters cannot be easily understood, it is hard to discount this criticism.
