I have the ability to get .wav files of voice mails emailed to me, but sometimes I'll be sitting in a meeting and I need to know the content of a message without playing it out loud. Are there any good (and, preferably, free) tools for converting .wav files to text? I know Google Voice has this capability, but I can't determine if it'll work on a file-by-file basis. I realize that this is a difficult research problem, but even an 80% solution might be workable. | |||||

I believe the best free speech recognition software is CMU Sphinx. It looks quite mature, though I have not used it. It is however more a research project than focussed on end users, so while it apparently works well, it's a bit of work setting it up; in particular, you will need to train it before using it. Other software you might want to try: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_speech_recognition_software BTW, have you considered just listening to the messages using a small earplug if you're in a meeting. Might be the easiest way :-). Or, just have less meetings... | |||
