Speech To Text

pendragginp · 02-09-2016, 01:26 PM

Does anyone know of a speech to text program that will work with dictation from an mp3 player? Can Dragon Speak do this? Thanks much -

I do believe Dragon will do that. I know my friend Elizabeth dictates into a recorder. while walking then Dragon translates it when she gets home.

Perfect, thank you! Karma for you.

Surely any MP3 player could be used simply by playing it into your PC's microphone?

Windows has a speech recognition software built in.
Start>all programs>accessories>ease of access>Windows speech recognition. You just need a microphone and to go through the setup procedure.

Thanks guys.

Be sure and train your Dragon. Doing the training helps it understand you better.

A direct connection (patch cord) would be better. No room noise.

Line In preferred (instead of Mic if the program supports that)

Be sure to use a very low starting volume on the MP3 player if you use the Mic input to avoid over driving the input.
My rule of thumb. Recorder (Windows) setting 50% to 75% of the control range. Then Adjust the source (MP3) to get a proper level. Avoid the controls extremes (high or low)

Thanks - good advice.

Although not exactly what you're looking for, I have also had good luck using speech to text on newer phones as well.

I just dictate to my phone in email and then send.

When I'm home, I can then add the text to my WIP.

I've never done this. I wonder if the speech sometimes gets garbled up.

It's not perfect, but it works extremely well. I frequently use speech-to-text on my iPhone to make notes when I'm reading academic books. It works surprisingly well.

I'm really curious about this feature. I'm going to have to try it.

Thanks, Harry.

Thanks, Harry.

Just tap the microphone button at the bottom of the on-screen keyboard.

I used speech to text when I cataloged my cookbooks. We only had 2 or 3 misunderstandings.
The big one was it wanted to do Iceland instead of Eastland.

Not bad over 300 entries.
