VoiceNote: Another Excellent Voice-to-Text App for Google Chrome

From paulhami.edublogs.org - December 10, 2012 9:56 PM

Once again Paul Hamilton brings us another great tool to use with Chrome, VoiceNote. He states that it "offers excellent voice-to-text...VoiceNote opens as a dictation window." Therefore it may "sit on top of a document being written" (or occupy your entire screen). A few of the features he mentions are:

* dictating directly into a text box facilitates creating paragraphs or longer selections of text

* on-screen buttons for adding punctuation

* suport for multiple languages

This tool allows you to record your speech within a browser. You may record by pressing the microphone button(suggestion is one sentence at a time). To see your sentence you select the volume control (above the microphone) and your sentence will appear and be read to you. If a word is not correct you may select the icon with the 3 lines and alternate suggestions will appear. The downward arrow will move the text below and allow you to continue to record.

Once the text has been moved you may copy it to the clipboard, print it, clear the text, email it, tweet it, or translate it.

Apps in Education: Using Speech to Text Apps on your iPad

From appsineducation.blogspot.com - January 1, 2012 1:55 PM

There are a number of apps that are available that let you record your voice in order to convert it to text. I find this helpful when I need to transcribe longer pieces or even if I need to transcribe multiple entries. This technology is not yet perfect but it has improved considerably since these apps first came on the market. The first time I tried these app I got about 30% of the words correct, that figure is now more like 85% and with some effort on your part can be as high as 95%.
