speech to text in opensource software is still poor, and even poorer for languages other than english. afaik pd also doesnot have a builtin solution for that. you could try to use a different program for that and parse the text, or you could try more basic approaches within pd (like pitch recognition, amplitude/envelope following, or rhythm/melody recognition. I am sure there are some commercial solutions out there (like in the iphone) that have good speech-to-text recognition, including dictionaries. sorry that this probably is no real help for you, maybe someone else knows more? marius.

Hello! I'm new to PD and was wondering if i could get a "working start" -
i'd like to someday be able to create a PD applet that can take audio input from a microphone and convert the sounds to text that can simultaneously be applied to a concurrently running program, like a word processor or a presentation program that accepts alpha-numeric input to trigger events. Can someone create a PD example that does the following:
- echo Alpha/numeric characters based on variable pitch
- echo alpha/numeric characters based on volume
- echo alpha/numeric characters based on rhythm (ie, number of pulses
per second or minute)
Sorry if this sounds simplistic - if i can see an example of a PD patch that can incorporate these elements, that will go a LONG way to helping me learn how to program PD on my own!
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions, PD list!
