Automatic Transcription

[Mark Knowles]

I think I remember that, but I think the difficulties are largely technological difficulties.

Yes, exactly the technological difficulties, that's what I meant

They will be resolved it is just a question of time. It is amazing how much areas of AI have advanced. Speech recognition and machine translation used to be very poor, now they seem quite impressive to me. Projects like those undertaken by Google DeepMind are very impressive. Of course there is a long way to go in AI. Nevertheless tasks like the automated transcription of the Voynich are quite "simple" compared to some of the more ambitious applications of AI.
