Need help finding a program that can take my teachers voice from lectures to text

I'm a student who has some trouble with certain things mainly deciphering some of the voice in the recorded lectures I get. Is there a program that can take like a .wmv and transcribe any text it recognizes ?

 

Or how would I make it seem like a .wmv files sound is going into the microphone?

that way I could just use any voice recognition software.

 

Guess you could try the speech recognition system on MS Word 2003/XP. Other than that I don't have a clue sorry.

 

someone recommended me

dragon naturally speaking

not too long ago, i never came around using it though.

 

Sadly, speech recognition is still too hit and miss. There are several mainstream programs like Dragon, but most of them expect some sort of training from the user to work reasonably well. If you are really desperate, you could look into transcription services.

As far as the passthrough method, you could just run a line out->line in cable (with splitter to your speakers if you really need it).

 

What Mairsil said.

There is no reliable voice->text transcription software out there and the halfway decent voice dictation software is expensive and requires user training.

This is why transcription services can charge as much as they do. There's no easy way to do the work. It's tedious and manual.
