I appreciate very much what you provided here, but suspect my question was not clear. The content does not exist as text, but as sound. the desire is to take the human voice speaking and convert this into text. Does that make more sense? Karen On Fri, 22 Mar 2013, erik burggraaf wrote: Just

You could do in Windows using Dragon Dictate for Windows. You'd have to go through some hoops, but you could probably do it using Dragon Dictate for the Mac to perform voice recognition on an MP3 file. I can't imagine what would make it worth that much trouble, though! You can have an off day,

In mountain lion, go to system preferences, dictation and speech. There you can choose the voice and the rate but nothing else for some reason. I'm all for giving ITunes the ax, but honestly, this is so easy, even iTunes can't mess it up. I'm sure you could get something like text aloud mp3 fo

Odd question perhaps, but is there a utility that will do this, on the mac or anything else for that matter? I have an mp3 file of a very poor quality, even more so than usual for a lossey one, wondered since it is all spoken, if I might convert it to something readable instead? Thanks, Karen
