Camtasia has that functionality built into its captioning module. I was not overly impressed the only time I had to use it, but the audio quality of the source was not very good either. If you have access to Camtasia it may be worth a shot. It will at least get you started. The results were a bit better than I got with YouTube auto-captions, but I still got to spend some quality time cleaning up the files before they were ready for publication. Camtasia does have a very nice interface for editing the captions.

Subject: [WebAIM] Speech to text

Hi Everyone,

I need to transcribe an audio interview onto text and wondered if there is anything more automated out there. I have tried Dragon and it works okay, but am wondering what other good programs are out there.

Thanks!

Cheers
