It's an urban myth. I monitor the relevant forums (fora?) for speech to text software regularly. Intelligence agencies may have such software, but nothing similar is currently on the market for researchers. Oh that it was....!

I have heard of a version of Dragon which will convert recordings of focus groups directly to text. It can cope with a variety of voices. Has anyone had experience of this or similar software?
Or is it an urban myth?
Best wishes

Hi Timo,
you will find more information on transcription software on http://www.textanalysis.info <http://www.textanalysis.info/> . There are test versions available for downloads, and my advice is to test the software before you buy. I hope the links on the site are useful.
Kind regards
Harald Klein
