Anyone have any experience in speech to text apps for a pc or recommendations for such. Something more than a geewhiz kind of a thing, a daily use thing?

Edit - sorry speech to TEXT.

in the late 90s i used to demo dragon dictate vs. ibm voice type? anyway dragon dictate would be used in siri, so thats good stuff. the most important takeaway is to have a great mic/headset. i'd use a plantronics headset w/ dragon dictate and then switch to a $1 toy headset w/ the ibm voice software. i don't know the software now, but i'm sure having the best mic you can buy will still net you the best results.

and yea this software was sold to lawyers and doctors, etc (different versions for obviously different vocab), there was also the basic general public use one.

I use otter.ai for transcriptions because they make timed srt files and regular transcriptions from mp3s. It's 10$/mo for 6000 minutes premium account. The transcriptions have been pretty good.

If you want a ghetto solution play audio into Google docs speech to text.

Guessing I'd have to have something I could edit or define new words. Lot of technical takl that would never show up in the dictionary and such.
