Select the speech recognition engine from the Engine drop-down list.Open the Options dialog and select the Speech to Text tab.You do this in the 'User-specific profiles' section of the Options->Text to Speech tab. After you train a Speaker to learn a User's voice, Express Scribe can set that speaker to run everytime that User sends you a file. This ID is obtained when they register their software (all unregistered users, WAV files and docked recordings are considered to be ID 0). Please refer to your speech engine manual for more information.Įxpress Scribe automatically matches each dictation file with a trained speaker using the Express Dictate (or DialDictate) ID of the sender. The training function is managed by your speech recognition software, not Express Scribe. You must 'train' the engine to recognize each voice that you are going to use. Training is essential to get reasonable text to speech. It is our concept that you will use this feature as a tool to provide you with draft text which you can play through at a faster speed and correct or re-format. At the moment, even a well trained engine will offer at best around 90% accuracy. It will be many years before machines will be able to transcribe accurately. You should not be too excited by speech to text. However, because the speech recognition runs in the background, you can start transcription immediately.

Even if your computer is fast, this can take some time (even longer than the recording itself) so this function works ideally when you have a queue of typing work. Options - Options ~ Speech to Text Once you have setup Express Scribe for Speech to Text, when you load a file it will process the file in the background and then include the full text in the Notes box.
