Audio Files Transcription
Hi,
Good day to all. I'm just new here and badly need help. Does anybody here knows any software or service where I can transcribe my audio files into text? I have tons of it in different formats and I have no time listening to all of it and transcribe it into words. I'm willing to spend a few bucks for it but better if it will be free.
Thanks,
Allan

Welcome to the forum! What do you mean by "text" in audio context? Notation? I don't understand how audio could be transcribed to text. Do you mean tagging with keywords describing the contents?

SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

I'm guessing you are talking about audio files like podcasts and ebooks? I don't think that the technology has quite "arrived" for that, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking seems to be the popular one. Windows 7 (and 8?) have built-in audio to text features also.

Good day to all as well. Just want to share this as I have the same problem a week ago and also ask help in some forums. And these all wrapped up to my conclusion. Using online speech to text services you can convert audio files to text document easily and its more reliable than downloaded software. Dragon is the most commonly used but can't be taken for professional purposes since you still have to train it. You may also try a service like speechtotextservice.com or you can hire in elance, freelance, odesk, etc. But one thing is for sure. As of the present technology in transcription, still nothing is free, unless you still do the work. Hope this adds up FYI.

Thanks for your suggestions. Will definitely try those out as I'm a bit desperate and time pressured. Hope there still some other suggestions to come. Will keep you posted.

I'd say you should look on fiverr.com - there are plenty of people on there who offer services for $5 and you'll find someone there I'm sure!

+1 for online freelance services. I have used getafreelancer.com (which apparently is defunct and redirects to freelancer.com) to get a quick simple computer programming job, and got bids overnight from folks in India, etc., who will work for MUCH CHEAPER than getting it done here. I'm sure a lot of folks would do audio transcription for the $5/hr. figure. Plus you're helping the World Economy. :-)

I think Microsoft OneNote can do this. I used it a lot years ago.
