On GitHub, you would want to search for ASR, STT, Automatic Speech Recognition, Speech-To-Text, and perhaps just 'speech', as I did, sorting the results by stars, to find 'Mozilla DeepSpeech' to be the most promising project. Then we see here that everything starts and ends on GitHub, which should not surprise. The Facebook model is based on wav2vec model at.Then I had a look at them in detail and found them to be trained on models which are publicly available on GitHub: Searching for ASR models, I found three pretrained models at 'Hugging Face', which is an AI community that offers the seemingly most relevant choice of models, good if I only want to find few but relevant results at first.

I have not tested anything and I am not a professional user. StackExchange is rather not about dropping some products or links, which is deemed rather off-topic. I will just tell how I searched for it, which is the main answer, not the exact links. Or you need to search for a pretrained model / train a model yourself.I have never tested it, although doing that is still on my list :). This shall not advertise anything, it is just the way how I got my first Speech-To-Text program. You will either need to buy a Speech-To-Text program - I have once bought Dragon NaturallySpeaking of the market leader 'Nuance' that was sold in combination with a Philips VoiceTracer.Īs this question is about the practical side of it: You need to search for an ASR (=STT) model, meaning 'Automatic Speech Recognition' (=Speech-To-Text) modelĪ nice theoretical overview of ASR is at. Yet, for now, the 'other solutions' are needed: Seems as if there is no Windows built-in program that can do that for now, although one can expect this in future, especially if the Windows assistant Cortana is already there, and with the Speech-To-Text app already available on a smaller scale.
