Question
Hi,

I am looking for a software which is able to convert from speech (from mp3, wawe,...).

Could you please advise where can i find it? Or it is not available yet?

Thanks you very much for your time and any advise you may give me.

Best Regards,
sanlen

Answer
Howdie Sanlen,

Actually, this software is available for free via Microsoft.  Most copies of Windows come with a built-in tool for this type of thing.  If it's not already on your computer, you can go to Microsoft's download page and just search for the software and it should be there.  In my experience with it there are still a few bugs in it, but for the most part if the audio is brought in clearly, then it does a good job.

Hope this helps.  Take care.

Expertise

I can answer questions on what shareware and freeware to use for projects of any kind, and where you can find it. I've worked with several types of Shareware/Freeware software including SplashUp, Zoho, Google, Audacity, Pligg, and many others on various projects and environments both web-based and on the desktop. So if you need help with working in one of these environments I am willing to give a hand. Also, I've worked in developing some freeware software in Flash and ActionScript in case there is a need.

Experience

I've worked on several projects where I used Shareware/Freeware software as my source for programming, graphics, 3D, video/audio engineering, and for web-based development as well.
