I don't think there is any viable open source voice recognition program. First, the technology itself is not yet good enough for general speakers. Second, if a voice recognition program has acceptable accuracy, it has huge profitability.<br />

The most accessible and usable voice recognition I know is that of Google Voice. Google implemented exactly what you described for voice mail of Google Voice.

I realized that I wrongly used the term &quot;voice recognition&quot; following the author.<br />
Just to clarify; voice recognition is to identify the speaker. Speech to text conversion is called speech recognition.

Hi, I'm trying to find or write an application which will run through an audio file (in wav) file then go through the file, coming up with a text version of the audio. It's a phone call audio file which I'm trying to auto-transcribe hopefully as accurate as possible. I know the origin and the destination so I can log the call and allocate the call details correctly.<br />
<br />
Can someone who has experience with this advise on which app (open source or proprietary) which I can integrate with a Ruby on Rails application on a Linux platform? I guess the processing of the audio file can be done via a cron job or something.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Open source speech to text app

Ruby is an open-source dynamic object-oriented interpreted language that supports multiple programming frameworks including functional, object oriented and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. Ruby focuses on simplicity and productivity. Ruby's market share spiked due to Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for building web applications.

Voice or speech recognition includes methodologies and technologies that enable the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers and computerized devices. It is also known as "automatic speech recognition" (ASR), "computer speech recognition", or just "speech to text" (STT). Voice recognition applications include voice user interfaces such as voice dialling (e.g. "Call home"), call routing (e.g. "I would like to make a collect call"), appliance control, search, simple data entry, preparation of structured documents, speech-to-text processing, and aircraft (usually termed Direct Voice Input).

Multimedia programming is the process of developing multimedia products, programs or services that combine text with sounds, pictures, graphics, video-clips, virtual reality, digital animation and other forms of media, and generally requires skill sets that include programming languages such as Java and C++, graphics, animation and video production.
