asterisk users - Jan 2009 - Ideas on how to convert spoken name to text (or wav to text)..speech recognition software?

I'm interested in taking a persons spoken recorded name (First, Last) and
converting the two spoken words to text. Is there any solutions out there that
would make this possible?

There are solutions ranging from free to many thousands of dollars, with
effectiveness ranging from nearly worthless to almost pretty good.

 

A lot depends on your application. 

 

The most successful application would match an utterance from a known
speaker to a known list of a couple dozen names. For example, if I say
"Alfred Monticello," the application can easily distinguish this from
other
list entries such as "Don Kelly" and "Robert Smith."

 

The least successful would attempt to convert an utterance from an unknown
speaker to text (which is what your inquiry implies). Even if it clearly
"understands" the speaker, the result could easily be "Alphret
Mahntichelo."
