Title: Speech input/recognition
Post by: markster on July 27, 2016, 09:57:05 AM

Has anyone created a NetTalk (or Clarion) app that captures voice input as a file, and then uses Google Voice/Dragon Naturally Speaking/etc to process it and return the text for downstream processing?

Regards,

Mark

Hi,
Have Done clarion apps with dragon dictate.  Dragon dictate will do voice to text in almost any text field.  Some versions of Dragon dictate will accept stored voice files - I have never played with this but it is theoretically possible to store the voice in a blob and then submit it to Dragon.
That being said, Dragon dictate should work with a net talk app.  It would have to be installed on the end user's computer.  Besides being able to program system commands into Dragon ( to run the browser or computer), the end user would be able to do voice to text within any text field (including entry strings) in a browser running a net talk app.   Built in voice recognition in Windows 8/10 machines has gotten much better but I would think that Dragon with a dedicated mic would be best.  For many applications, CONTEXT makes voice to text accuracy better. 
FWIW,
