It appears that many of of the speech-to-text engines are designed for phrases instead of names. Would anyone happen to have any recommendations for speech-to-text engines that do a good job recognizing names? Are any of them better than others regarding dealing with accents?
None will be perfect, and spelling of names varies. You'll probably have better luck going the other direction, typing the names into a text-to-speech application and having it speak the names. "The lord's johnson" - Heh! Of course, one can play games with text-to-speech conversion as well. I have a friend who reads email this way and will occasionally throw in a phrase like "If you see Kaye, why owe you?" just to keep him on his toes. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV
