Xbench command line12/16/2023 ![]() Since I am a busy person, a 30-day trial simply won't cut it. I initially started using a cracked version of Dragon, which allowed me to use a fully functional professional version for as long as I felt was necessary to decide whether I wanted to buy it or not. Regarding your concerns about paying for something that you might not end up using, this is how I solved it (please don't tell anyone). Regarding having to learn to write and write scriptlets/macros, etc., one good thing about KnowBrainer 2015, for example, is that you don't have to write any scripts to get started, as the program actually ships with hundreds of them already. "), dedicated to open source SR software, etc. ![]() (4) VoiceCoder Yahoo Group: (for the more technical among us)Īlso note that the guys behind KnowBrainer have very graciously created a special subform (called "Third-Party Command Utilities - Vocola, Unimacro, VoicePower, Python. (1) Speech recognition for translators Yahoo Group: If I had more free time, I might consider setting something up myself.Ĭurrently, there are several very good places for information, and I highly recommend all three of these: I'm afraid that I don't know of any training courses aimed at helping translators get up to speed with speech recognition. Just take a look at the AHK forums: (24,364 posts in the help section!!!!).īut AHK is just a tiny piece of the puzzle: what's really fun and exciting is adding Vocola, Unimacro, KnowBrainer and Dragonfly to the mix.įor a very interesting survey of ALL the speech recognition software available, both on Windows and Mac/Linux, see these two amazing blog posts: + I might be wrong though, as "I am not a Mac", as you would say. Also (and this is equally important to me), AHK has a really active and great community going on, whereas I doubt the same applies to the "Automator community", if such a thing even exists. (4) Automator is nice, but it's sadly not anywhere near as powerful as AHK. There is some talk that it will be adding more, also in connection with its upcoming "Dragon Anywhere", which will be available on mobile devices (iOS and Android see: + ), and which can be connected to your local copy of Dragon Professional Individual 14. I mean, how good can they all be? If it took Nuance years to create Dragon, how can anyone suddenly created hundreds of equally high quality engines? Nuance has a bunch of languages too, but only in its mobile apps. (3) I do wonder about all those languages. It comes at a price: the price of your Mac, and another price, but I won't go into that one ) (2) It's nice that it's free, but it isn't of course. ![]() However, I may be wrong, and there are also people who think that Apple licensed it from Nuance, which would mean it's exactly the same. From what I have read about it, I also suspect that its recognition engine is not as good as Dragon. I just don't have any experience with it, and know only a single translator who actually uses it in his daily translation work ("Tom from London"). (1) I don't mind if OS X's built in Dictation app is good. Thanks for your characteristically sourpuss take on things.
