Hi there,
I'm a big Jott fan and use it often. It makes me wonder about more industrial-strength applications that convert MP3 to text.
Specifically, I'm interested in taking several dozen hours of meeting recordings and having them automatically transcribed.
I have Naturally Speaking and know I can get this done using Naturally Speaking, but I'm looking for something else.
Have any of you GTDers used a service or software that automates this?
Thank you.
It would be helpful to hear why you're not happy with Dragon. It's considered the best of breed, AFAIK. I tried it and found it inadequate. I went with humans, which is more expensive, but I've had extremely high quality results. More here, FYI:

More the "least worst", in the Churchill/democracy way, unless something's changed lately.Quote:

The things being done at places like the MIT Media Lab, Bell Labs/AT&T Research/Lucent/whatever they're called these days, and in call-processing systems like Amtrak's "Julie" IVR, are nothing short of amazing. Someday, that'll make its way down to PCs, maybe.
Have you considered finding a secretarial service to do the transcription for you?Quote:
