Looks to me like Text Recordster does much the same thing that Text
Outloud does, ie text to MP3/WAV, not the other way round. Incidentally
this is one of the functions that you now get with Read & Write Gold.
See http://www.dyslexic.com/products.php?catid=1&subid=7&pid=196.
Dremedia is a subsidiary of Autonomy. Mainly concerned with indexing and
searching unstructured material, so the speech to text is mainly for
this purpose, although they also mention automated transcripts. I
suspect the transcripts either aren't very accurate or they are a
product of machine and human cooperation.
From Autonomy's 2002 corporate highlights:
"Average selling price increases 6% in 2002 to $380,000 from $360,000 in
2001"
But maybe the Dremedia product is cheaper. We expect to be their
Education reseller, mainly for DSA purposes, shortly. In which case
we'll publish a price list. . . In my dreams/dremes.
Speech technology apparently developed by Softsound, now also wholly
owned by Autonomy. All good Cambridge companies.
