    Hi
    Is anyone aware of any good software package that will transcribe voice to text accurately. I am aware of some free versions but results are poor.


    Thanks for your help

    It depends on how you're going to use it.
    • IBM's Watson speech to text is excellent, but it's only available on their SaaS cloud platform. However, there are many extra functions available through Watson.
    • Similarly, this is another online service.
    • Google's speech API is basically what they use for their own products, so it's pretty good.

    You could also have a look at sphinx4 or PocketSphinx (for mobile). I’m using the latter for a project and find the accuracy pretty good. It’d also be possible to improve the accuracy:
