He found Dragon Naturally Speaking to work fairly well, even with a change in the people speaking. But, yes, it does require training and you have to add vocabulary items from time to time.

If so, it won't recognize random voices well.<br /><br />I had an hour long recording of an interview of my uncle with two people there asking questions and commenting. So there were three voices. I tryed Microsoft dictate, spent several days looking online and tried some "state of the art" open source and University packages. None did even close to an adequate job, and could not recognize change of voice which is essential to record in an interview. I thought of trying Dragon, but I didn't want to pay for what I expected to be another failure.<br /><br />Yes, I agree, this is one field that can be hugely improved. Any young keen programmers out there who want to make a fortune? A working voice recognition algorithm is definitely needed.<br /><br />Louis Kesslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704667321407909489noreply@blogger.com
