Audio Note to Transcription

[maxfrost 1]

I would like my Evernote audio notes to be transcribed either while I'm making them or afterwards. I want a free service/program/technique, so it would probably have to be a computer generated transcription; I am okay with this.

Hi.  Free transcription is already available in Speech To Text (STT) notes on mobile devices - a network connection is required.  Evernote may have some plans to expand that feature in due course,  but I'd doubt it's high on their list - it's unknown how many users would be interested and whether the cost of development across multiple OS's and devices -and languages- would ever be worth it.  Machine STT is always chancy anyway if you're dealing with longer sessions;  far better to have a native speaker do a live transcript - fewer errors to find and fix.

Computer generated transcription is a very challenging task to do accurately.  It is very unlikely that you will find a free app/service that is acceptable.

One of the better known, established apps, is Dragon NaturallySpeaking , but it will cost you about $70, unless you can find a special somewhere.

For more choices, search for "speech to text", or "voice to text".
