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. :)
