[Hidden-tech] Converting audio to text...

[P. Al Williams]

As far as I know Dragon will simultaneously recognize two voices.
The second voice is called the "shadow" voice and when more than two people
are involved in a conversation that shadow voice is actually someone who has
to repeat everything the additional speakers say.

As far as I know, there is no speech transcription software available for,
say, a group of 5 or more people.
If there is, I'd love to hear about it. I've been asked about that piece of
software by at least 50 community media centers around the US in hopes of
captioning their programming.
