Greetings:

I am interested in hearing about people's experiences with voice to text software programs (Dragon). I have a recent diagnosis of arthritis and realize that I need some kind of program like Dragon. Dragon has been around the longest, and I hear that Google is using UN transcriptions + audio files to build a similar program (but does not yet have a marketable product). I need to be able to tell my computer to search the web, work in excel, prezi or powerpoint, Word, write emails.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I have 1.5 years before I go up for tenure and need to maintain my current level of productivity!

best
sarah

Google Translate also works quite well.

Subject: [FRIAM] SayHi Translate - Voice Translation App for iPhone or iPad for Business


Kim Sorvig was over last night and we got to talking about speech-to-text programs. This reminded me that I had just gotten SayHi for my iPhone, but hadn't tried it yet: http://www.sayhitranslate.com/


Holy cow was it accurate and complete on our tests! This is a dream for travelers. Speak in english to your phone and you get a text and voice translation to any of 33 languages!


Alas, its currently only for iDevices but hopefully it'll go Android soon (there may already be a similar app on Android thus the iDevice focus.).
