transcribe a phone recording

83 Views Asked by At

There is a certain organization that periodically provides information in the form of a recorded message on a "hotline". Is there any open source solution (or set of components that could be "wired" together) that would allow me to present this information in text form on a web page?

Since it's the really easy part, I'm going to assume you can fetch the audio from the "hotline", i.e. you have direct access to the actual audio samples.

The hard part is transcribing the audio. You can start by having a look at Wikipedia and follow the links from there. One solution you could use would be CMU Sphinx. Google and other related search tools such as Google Scholar are likely to become your close friends :)

While there are a number of voice recognition engines available, their accuracy is far from perfect.
