Subject: transcribing from .wav files
Is there any software on the SuSE CDs (or elsewhere) that is good for
transcribing audio files to text? I've got some tapes of lectures that
I've been wanting to transcribe, but finding time has been problematic.
I was thinking that if I could record them as .wav files or something
and then feed them to a program that spits out text that might be one
way to do it.
Note that the software doesn't have to be able to work in realtime. I
don't really care how long it takes, just that it's fairly accurate with
less-than-studio-quality input, doesn't need training, and doesn't need
babysitting while it does its thing (or much time for me to learn how it
works). I don't care much about formatting on the output. I'm not
going to be publishing the text, just using it for reference and maybe
quoting short sections. Anything good enough for grep is good enough
for me. :)
<p>TIA,
-John
