I didn't learn anything but ... www.bbn.com
apparently these guys are doing some cool things. I talked to Steve Kotyk from VoiceGenie and he mentioned they were doing some cool things with voice recognition. The example he saw was an Arabic News clip - where each voice stream was isolated, translated and colour coded into a text stream.

All are digital though. I will even be recording the audio files from somebody calling in on a telephone. Then I need to take the audio file (whatever format it's in) and convert it to text. Then do quality assurance on that converted file. That's where this whole project is going. A little cutting edge but that never hurt anyone :) ~Jason -----Original Message----- From: Eric Dawson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 2:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Voice XML parsers ahhhh. neat idea. not sure how to do it. but I am guessing you would need some speech rec tools. I have made a call to voiceGenie in T.O. canada to ask them where the best place to start is. More to follow when I get a response back. I seem to remember voiceGenie has a desktop/developer tool for creating desktop voice rec applications. I just had a poke through their site but couldn't find it. The voice gateway servers don't really provide a robust speech recognition engine per se - but rather allow you to programmatically create (context dialects)? for voice interface programming. (ie listen for the words {menu, movies, "catch a cab", "Jimmy sent me" - and do actions based on those responses.} Did you need to process a bunch of WAV files to create some text based VXML files? or is this more a real time thing - where someone may record a message and it needs to converted to text? The sample application I imagine would be say a dictation engine. A guys uses his PC or phone to connect to the server. He leaves his dictation message to be reviewed and converted to text. VXML gateway / Web server would have no problem doing this part. A web interface allow the agent to process the WAV file - here I have question marks. I think you would need to find a server component to do the WAV to TEXT part. After that - its all easy again. Does Dragon Dictate or any of those have the ability to create or use sound files? Microsoft may have some speech components that are relevant - I have 0 experience there.
