Speech to text software?

Post#1 by Rava » 18 Feb 2019, 16:20

Is there a free (as in freedom and beer) Speech to text software for x86-64 Linux?

I know that IBM used to develop one, but I have trouble tracking down really recent binaries. Do any of you know which software is the most reliable one, especially for German, and the software needs to be able to learn, of course.
Cheers!
Yours Rava

This one works really well for me (Nemesis...)

Needs python-pip package.

There's a nodejs fork and also google-tts-api seems to get regular updates.

Have a look here.

If nothing suits you, maybe you should try WINE+Balabolka, but this is another arena and you'll need SAPI 5 voices ($$$) to get good results.

Cheers!
