Speech to text
I own a copy of Dragon Natural speaking, which is a speech to text program. I was never thrilled with it because it was sort of slow, made a lot of mistakes. If I trained it well it improved. But then all of a sudden it would lose its training.
So I upgraded to Windows 10 which has speech to text and I was hoping it would work better, but same thing. I trained it a lot and it lost its training one day. So after looking around awhile I found Speechnotes. It's surprisingly accurate, and it's easy to use. Except I wish I could turn off the automatic adding of periods when it thinks the sentence ends. And it's not perfect. But I'm using the free version and maybe the pay one is better. |

Thanks for the heads up. This is one I wasn't aware of.

Here's my follow up. I recently dictated two pages. speechnotes only made one mistake. I said the word I said "period" and it entered it as punctuation, not as a word.

Curious. It says to click the microphone to start recording -- but I don't see a microphone.

It's red and immediately to the right of where it says English, US. at the tip right of the dictation area of the interface.
One thing I neglected to mention. It can also read back to you what it just typed. This feature is what helped me spot the error regarding the period. Edit: I use the Edge browser for this. |

It works in Edge, and it works in Brave. It does not work in Waterfox, Firefox, or Pale Moon. |
