Messages are converted by machine; humans are only involved to help train the intelligent system to improve its speed and accuracy (although SpinVox users do report already 97 per cent accuracy where other automated services deliver only the gist of what is said). So, when the system encounters a word or phrase its does not know or understand, it is able to refer to a specialist in the SpinVox language laboratory for assistance. The human then trains the system so that word or phrase becomes known to the VMCS for future use. In that way, the VMCS is constantly evolving and learning, increasing in accuracy and speed with each conversion. Mark
