speech recognization program

[Saharika]

From where can i download the software that can recognize voice and type when i speak.
may be free or trial version.
i tried xp's word recognization features but is not totally helping and be because of accent we speak in.
thanks

Dragon naturally speaking is the best like Indyan said. very expensive tho. IBM's Via voice is a good option too. I think there is a free demo available from the IBM website.

Hi Saha,

Have u completed the full speech training with Office XP before starting.
After training the recognition power becomes, but not 100%

There is no trial version for Dragon NaturallySpeaking. If you want, you've got to get the full version. Come to think of it, I don't think I know of any VR software ever being free for download. I've seen MSOffice VR work if you train it long enough. Sure, you got to correct a lot of errors, but it sure beats typing 20 pages out. Just remember Dragon needs as much time (if not more) for training, even if its the Indian accent version of the program. The more you train, the more accurate it gets.
