Speech to text software
I am looking for some speech to text software.
Preferably shareware, but would pay if someone has actually used it and can verify it works. Thanks, Andy |

OK, for speech to text, most of these wait until a complete phrase has been spoken, before deciding what was said. If you have RSI, you'll put up with that. If you're able-bodied, not so much. If doing dictation, the accuracy is about as good as you would expect. My doctors have various versions of dictation software, some of it good, and some of it requiring constant correction. The last one I watched my doctor dictate, he was impressed how it selected the correct technical words, which implies he'd seen worse. His first challenge, was finding a microphone :-) (Normally they dictate into tablets.) Dragon Naturally Speaking is an example of a commercial product. Any FOSS inspired items, well, speech is hard, and it doesn't take a lot of error correction to throw most potential users into the weeds. This is also the reason I no longer test OCR for optical document scanning. I've only ever seen a single sheet of paper, scanned and converted 100% correct... and it was the sample sheet in the software box (so the software knows what it's scanning when it sees that sheet :-) ). All this stuff is tough to do, and anyone who succeeds at it, wants "big money". If you're that good, you don't give it away for free. That's why we have so many copies of Tesseract running around.

Paul I found an answer. Addon for the Chrome browser VoiceNote II - Speech to text And it's conversion is very impressive. It must have a dictionary, cuz if you type a curse word, it will type s*** :-) I love Tesseract. I have scanned books and gotten excellent conversions. I would imagine that scanning my handwriting would be at best 10%. Andy |

Do I have to manually delete those email addresses every time? Andy Google Groups used to partially hide the email addresses at one time. In this sample message, you can see two email addresses that have "..." in them, to hide precise email addresses. I wonder why they've stopped doing that ? Not that it matters all that much. http://al.howardknight.net/?STYPE=ms...egroups.com%3E ******* Your VoiceNote II could be using Cloud conversion for speech, instead of local conversion. But companies don't like to give away Cloud conversion for free, whereas local conversion is not of as high quality and they're willing to give away that sort of conversion. Test it and see if any network lights are flashing as you talk. And the lights don't flash as fast when you're not talking. Paul |

What does it suggest you do? Google Groups used to partially hide the email addresses at one time. It still does. In this sample message, you can see two email addresses that have "..." in them, to hide precise email addresses. I wonder why they've stopped doing that ? That's because the message was composed on Google Groups so the quoted text contained the obfuscated ones.
