Karol Bagh police station using speech-to-text software
Delhi Police is officially using speech-to-text software to ensure that documentation work is not hampered due to officers facing difficulty in typing in Hindi. The initiative was formally taken up by Assistant Sub-Inspector Lavkesh Kumar, posted in Karol Bagh police station. On September 10, he received an appreciation letter from Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Jasmeet Singh. Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Kumar said many officials had been facing problems in uploading entries to the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and System (CCTNS) in Hindi as they are not accustomed to typing in the language. Explaining the process, the ASI said he uses a speech-to-text feature on WhatsApp that can transcribe spoken Hindi into Devanagari script. “After the message is typed, one can open WhatsApp Web on their system and copy-paste the message on to the CCTNS portal,” he said.More Related News
