[CGUYS] Speech recognition software

Here's the set-up: We have hundreds of oral histories on cassette tape. I've successfully transferred some of these to CD using Audacity (freeware). We have several people transcribing these histories so we have written copies. Is there some speech recognition software we could use to for tr

According to Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) (http://dictionary.reference.com/help/luna.html), "bight" used as a verb means "to fasten with a bight of rope." I'm gratified to learn that the industry has chosen to not do so to its tongue from now on. On 8/1/07, Tom Piwowar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wr

Re: [CGUYS] Speech recognition software

The latest version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking claims to not require "learning the voice" before transcribing voice to text. It should therefore be perfect for your use. I've used several versions of the software, and I find it excellent (though you always must check for accuracy). It will proba

Re: [CGUYS] Speech recognition software

I'd have to see it to believe it. Even if it got the sounds right 100% of the time (highly unlikely), there's simply no way it could deduce homonyms correctly, which would be needed for proper punctuation at least. I don't see any way of doing this project with any degree of accuracy short of havi

Re: [CGUYS] Vista a "disappointment"

Well, then here is one person that likes it. Vista came on my new notebook PC. So far I have had no trouble with it. I even like the new tricks that it can do. I'm not fanatic for it, but I don't actively dislike it. On a scale from 1 to 10, I'll give it a 6 or 7. Is that beyond " particularly

Re: [CGUYS] Speech recognition software

I beg to differ. This software is able to distinguish among homonyms with a high degree of accuracy, and as stated earlier, it learns through experience. Worst case, someone might use it to repeat interviews into the computer - which would still save a boatload of time and effort. I have used

Re: [CGUYS] Speech recognition software

Dragon used direct digital recording Line-in input since at least v. 6, which was my first cut. I'm still using v. 8, which was the first to advertize an ability to use direct line-in input from an analog tape recorder. I hadn't though about direct-from-CD, but since the software riffs off of the c
