 I have a vonage account, and the transcription is very poor at best.

I was about to say -- the standards would have to be pretty low to call
the Vonage Visual Voicemail a success.

I will give them points for daring to try, though.

Your best bet at this point is to have an assistant or some other 3rd 
party transcribe the VM for you.  I know of several companies that do 
this for recordings in various industries.

Thanks,
Steve

They seem to be commercial :(

A quick search in google revealed a page with some compilation of
opensource STT engines.

http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Speech-Recognition-HOWTO.html

Making them process voicemail wav files isn't trivial but shouldn't be
quite hard. If you have some progress on this, give us know.

Atis

Nuance offers an SDK to do something similar, I think they say you can
only expect between 45-60% accuracy using it though. Total cost is
about $6K to $8K for one server license.

If there are enough people interested in pooling money I'd be willing
to help set up a system to process voicemails and provide the Nuance
converted transcript. However, I figure the low accuracy would be the
biggest turn off from using Nuance.

[asterisk-users] Speech Rec on Voicemail

2007-08-23 Thread Ryan M. Colbert
I've had requests to processes incoming voicemails with voice recognition 
routine and add the output text to the body of the email message from * with 
the attached .wav file.  Has anyone implemented this type of feature and 
willing to share some notes?

Thanks!

That would be very interesting to see, if you get it working. Last I
checked, though, speech-to-text didn't work very well without a very small
language to choose from, far smaller than English.
