I record lectures from one of my classes and I was wondering if anyone knows of some software that will take the mp3 recordings and convert it to text?

I would prefer free but if it is cheap and works well I will also go with it.

 

1. get google voice

2. record the class by having class leave you a voice mail on your google voice number

3. ????

4. Profit.

 

I would like to have it in text because we can use our notes on tests and I am way to lazy to transcribe it all myself.

 

right so google transcribes speech to text.

try it. leave me a VM:
(seven oh three) 679 - 8 - Y8S

 

if you are on windows then use native sdk: http://www.microsoft.com/speech/

 

Or just use the Mechanical Turk.

 

Ran across this earlier today: enCaption - Automated Closed Captioning from ENCO Systems, Inc.

 

Fak, I thought i was a lazy note-taker. I used to take pictures of the white board all the time and/or record video.

 

Duh, all you have to do is reverse the polarity on the battery!
