Speech to Text for Podcasts?
Thursday July 9, 2009
Ticklerkid on the forum is frustrated by the inaccessibility of podcasts, and wants to know if there is any software that can convert podcast speech to text. One respondent mentioned voicewriting. Is there any other software out there (besides the function in Windows Vista and Dragon software) that can do what Ticklerkid wants?

Dear Jamie,
I’m a teacher from a school for the deaf in China. I admire you for your learning spirit and belief.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
I like you and also enjoy the proverb.
Have a nice holiday!
Recommend giving Audioboo (http://audioboo.fm/) a try. They just announced a new audio-to-text feature with SpinVox.
There is a program for blackberries called Vlingo (http://blackberrysync.com/2008/06/vlingo-brings-speech-to-text-for-blackberry/) but I dont know how good it is.
Watch out for podcasts – universities are starting to use them for their students, but they are accessible only to a small percentage of the pop.
Wave To Text – powerful English speech recognition software
