Software that can transcribe meetings or multiple people
-
I have a user that needs to be able to get full meetings of board members or management meetings. At first I said Dragon Naturally Speaking but didn't know it was for a meeting environment. Does anyone know of or is there a piece of software that can do this? I know Dragon Naturally Speaking needs to learn phonetics & voice recognition, but I am afraid all software if there is any will need that too, am I right to actually assume that? (Yes I already know not to assume anything, but I will in this specific case.)
-
I do not think that all software needs that, however the software that I have used that does not calibrate to one person's voice always has difficulty properly transcribing things. I have yet to run into a fully reliable transcription program.
-
I've never seen anything that can do that.
-
I had a feeling about that, might have to get her Dragon & have her "parrot" using her voice, or get her to take classes on stenography. Right now they just record the meetings & she has to hand write everything down. Any other ideas outside of transcribing that may be helpful.
-
I work in the environment that possibly needs this the most, ever. Tons of meetings, always recorded and deep pockets so buying software to transcribe would be a no brainier if it were available and we don't do it. I'm pretty sure nothing on the market today can do this or do it well enough for people to actually spend money on it.
-
Why did it change brainer to brainier. Ugh. Stupid iPhone autocorrect.

I miss my Tandy 400. But even my Compy 386 was better at email than this thing.

@technobabble - Thanks, I'm passing that site along to the users & the money people, let them sort it out from there. Hopefully this will allow me to close the ticket.

A dollar a minute. That feels expensive. That is easily $60 for a standard meeting. That's a lot if money.
-
Yep, I concur, but it's their decision not mine if it were my money, I'd keep the money and type it all out.
-
Typing it out would cost as much. The real question is.... how much value is there is having a transcription rather than just a recording?
-
Most of the board meetings they have here everyone wants a copy to read, rather than listen to. So either way it would have to either be hand written out (hand cramps anyone) or typed out.

If it is only board meetings, $1/minute isn't bad. If it is regular company meetings, it would seem that it is.
