Voice recognition software

Hi there

We are looking to source a voice to text software package for a dyslexic colleague and wondered if anyone has any recommendations. It would need to run on Windows 10 and Office 2016 online.

Thanks

Hi Denise
For many years Dragon has ruled the roost and continues to do so.

From Windows 7 onwards, voice recognition software comes as standard with Windows. it's called Windows speech recognition, and it's pretty good - but not up to the quality of Dragon. Go to your Start menu and in the search box at the bottom, type "speech recognition" and a box should open to activate the software and take a sample of your voice.

For a dyslexic, even a product like Dragon will have problems with place and people names, as well as homonyms like "here" and "hear"

Dragon is good for speech to text. There's also a software tool called TextHelp which does text to speech quite well.

The newest version of the software, DNS 13, is available in home, premium and professional editions, with the latter allowing users to import and export custom word lists to add any specific words and acronyms that may not already be in the vocabulary.
