Convert audio to text

Dec 31, 2008 10:49 AM

I am trying to find out if you can convert audio to text using Captivate. If not, what other software would be recommended?

    Welcome to our community, Heidi

    Captivate won't be able to do this. You will need to resort to some third party software. Perhaps try the following link:

    Note that I'm not endorsing or vouching for this product. I'm only aware of it via a Google search.

    Cheers... Rick

    A better known solution is Nuance Software's " Dragon Naturally Speaking". It is a great deal more advanced in the interpretation and adaptation-to-voice issues than are most Speech-to-Text machines, but it doesn't sell for $39, either ... prepare to pay $100 - $300 depending on which version you purchase, and where you purchase it.

    If you wish to convert existing audio files (WAV, MP3) to text, as opposed to converting a live narrative, this may not be your cup of tea. In that case, perhaps the earlier suggestion would work better(???). Good luck.1

    P.S. The suggestion to "Google" for the answer to your question is probably the best idea. Use Google to find a list of possible solutions, then download the "trial" versions, and select the one that works best for you.

    if you want verbatim audio conversion, then better go for manual audio transcription.
