How to Transfer Voice to Text

If you're a writer, lecturer, transcriber or student, you can use voice-to-text software (also called speech-recognition software) to produce written documents by simply speaking into a microphone. It simplifies the writing process and reduces the need to type on a keyboard. People who invest in this software do so to save time and increase productivity. Simply speak the words and the voice-recognition software translates it to written text.

      Use Jott to transfer your voice notes to text format (see Resources). This is helpful to people on the run, like salespeople, who have ideas or reminders they need to capture and refer to later. Simply call the Jott Assistant hotline and log into your account to speak your notes, then retrieve them via text or email. You can also integrate the Jott assistant tool with smartphones or record from your computer desktop. The service offers a free trial with paid plans if you wish to continue after the tryout period.

      Convert voice to text using LumenVox Speech Engine as another alternative (see Resources). The tool captures your speech with a microphone, compares it to a list of common grammatical terms (like a dictionary), and then transfers the speech to a text file. The software analyzes waveforms of sound to get a close match to what the speaker said. Pay a monthly subscription fee for either 500 words at a time or purchase a full license that covers unlimited words per session.

      Try Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking as a third option for converting voice to written text (see Resources). You have to install this standalone software to your computer and connect a microphone to begin swapping spoken words for written text. The software adapts to your unique voice as you use it to ensure proper voice recognition. Choose from a professional, premium or home version.
