Voice Tech Group speech recognition client based application called “Tazti”, it is free to download. It works with WinXP and Vista. I’ve used it on my Mac through Parallels on WinXP and works great, as well as on a WinXP PC. There is about a 20 minute setup time to train the client application to your voice and you need a standard headset.
Some of the fun features I like is to hover your mouse over a field and say ‘Click’ or ‘Double Click’, as well as saying “Closed” will close the active window. Tazti gives users the ability with 2 easy verbally commands to turn on and off the headset microphone so you can have conversations or phone calls with others. Other features, are the ability to search multiple search engines via commands (Example saying “Search Google” or “Search MSN” or “Search Yahoo” listen for the beep then say “ESPN” and it will will return the results page for ESPN, it also lets you create your own commands to go to your sites, like your favorite blog and MySpace Page with any code word you assign, easy to do and edit.
Voice Tech Group continues to add features to the Tazti product and can integrated with Online Services to give them speech recognition capabilities fairly quickly. The adoption of ‘Tazti’ product has been slow as they need help with Marketing, mostly around promoting the product. Their business model is to use advertising on Tazti.

I am using my iphone recording mechanism to record data on snack machine sales of 97 different items. It is quicker than entering the data to a spreadsheet while at the machine. Unfortunately much time is required to transfer this data to spreadsheets. Please suggest a voice recognition software that would take my recordings and change them into print. It would facilitate the quicker transference of stored audio data for me, since my typing is much faster when I don’t have to go back and forth from an audio recording.
Any suggestions
Thanks
