Typing in English While Speaking/Speech to be Converted to Typed Text in English

11/19/2020 1:34 AM

Dear CR4 Forum Members

Now a days I have to translate the text in regional languages to english which takes time to write and type or directly type line by line. This takes considerable time.

I searched in CR4 itself and next in google and it is showing plenty of options, but some difficulty in installation. Perhaps my wordings for search may be not matching.

Request forum members to help me to identify one or two soft ware which can be installed in the computer as well as mobile.

Thanks

It's been my experience that online translators don't work that well, and the smaller the population base that speaks a language the worse it gets....In other words Spanish to English is pretty good, and French, and Italian...I use google translate, which will do entire pages of text, but if there is an online translator that is more specific to your region, that might work better, I guess you have to try...Text to text programs work better than speech to text translators, which don't seem to work well at all....

In today's time, the Google translator tool is the most used but it only gives you approx results by translating and it is not enough if you want to new start-up or increase your business activities in another country. There must need a professional translator to give you 100% accuracy in the doc. translation, For example let go through here https://translatehub.org/translator-salary-by-language/ Translation service is growing very fast, which is helping people to get employment and livelihood. I know many of my friends who are associated with this translation service and they are doing well.

First, there is no such thing as 100% perfect translation. There are differences it the way of thinking in different languages that make it impossible to convert certain concepts exactly from one language to another.

Second, in my experience, due to those differences, the best translation can only be done by a person whose first language is the one to which the text is being translated.

I really hate assembly/operating instructions that have been translated by a person who only speaks minimal English.

Dictation (speech to text) is built-in to many applications on all current Macintosh computers. It's not perfect, but for those of us who are poor typists, it helps a lot.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a long time application that works well, if the free ones don’t perform to your expectations..,

Back in the late ‘80, we were doing building shells for the installation of office cubicles.

the office space ‘shell’ dimensions were taking by the space planner, which the CAD operator would created the actual office space for the installation of the office cubicles.

The CAD operator would go from the layout that had the dimension hand written in from the actual shell, than go to the computer and drawing the line, column, doorway, vent, window, ect... And would go back and forth, back and forth, paper sketch, enter in the computer, paper sketch, enter in the computer.

I develop a program, were where you measure and said the command, which activated a script to drawing the line. Work fairly well, some draw backs considering this was in 1989 technology.

I don’t recall the name of it,... I needed a Sound Blaster card, and it came with a game called Dr. Sabaitso, that was lame but was a early version of AI.

Dr. Sbaitso was distributed with sound cards manufactured by Creative Labs (the name was an acronym for Sound Blaster Artificial Intelligent Text to Speech Operator)

the drawback at the time, was you had to set your reference point on with voice, unfortunately, it worked great with the exception, if after a while your voice goes horse.

but it created a script, that I’d run in CAD to created the dimensional room size shell for the installation of office cubicles.

no, voice recognition is unbelievable, taking Siri or Alexa as an example.

I did a quick search on Amazon, looks promising...

Just to clarify.

I believe that the original poster is not looking for translation software.

He is translating from various local languages/dialects into English.

What he wants is English "speech to text" software.
