Transcription in Buzzword: Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text
D982  Category: Buzzword    Status: Submitted


This is actually multiple related ideas all rolled into one.

1. Often, there is a requirement to interview people and record the audio minutes. How about we import WAV / MP3 files into Buzzword and have them transcribed into text- I'd even settle for 60% accuracy since that's 60% less typing for me!

Sub-idea: this could turn into a new method of mobile buzzword document creation; call the Buzzword toll-free number and speak into it. Your speech is transcribed and saved as a new document.

2. Export a document as a WAV / MP3 file. I have several documents that I need to read but I need to be on the move. It would be nice if Buzzword could export documents that I could carry on my ipod or phone. Again: minimum accuracy is fine. A gist of the ideas in the document is really what's needed. This may be similar to what the Adobe Reader does (it reads documents out loud).

Hopefully, these ideas sound as exciting to you as they did inside my head :)
