One might be able to use windows Vista Speech Recognition with the $15 add-in that allows you to transcribe a wave file to generate some kind of output, but it will be one long fairly inaccurate string of text with no punctuation, since no punctuation marks will have been indicated in the audio. Naturally Speaking and an add-on for it called KnowBrainer supposedly have a system for transcribing text from any voice, with no profile having been built, but again, there will be no punctuation in the resulting document.

I would like to post some comments from a radio show onto some blogs and into some emails without having to go through the laborous process of hand transcribing. It would also be nice, upon occasion, to use the find command of a screen reader or text editor to search for strings. Is this possible on a practical level, and are any of these programs, if they exist, both affordable and screen reader friendly? We can't always be "happy"; but we can always choose to be thankful and joyful whatever the circumstances. That is God's will for us. -- David Jeremiah http://www.davidjeremiah.org Jonathan Mosen List Founder Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jonathan Mosen List Founder Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
