SayHi Translate - Voice Translation App for iPhone or iPad for Business

[Owen Densmore]

Kim Sorvig was over last night and we got to talking about speech-to-text programs.  This reminded me that I had just gotten SayHi for my iPhone, but hadn't tried it yet: http://www.sayhitranslate.com/

Holy cow was it accurate and complete on our tests!  This is a dream for travelers.  Speak in english to your phone and you get a text and voice translation to any of 33 languages!

Alas, its currently only for iDevices but hopefully it'll go Android soon (there may already be a similar app on Android thus the iDevice focus.).

Greetings:

I am interested in hearing about people's experiences with voice to  
text software programs (Dragon).  I have a recent diagnosis of  
arthritis and realize that I need some kind of program like Dragon.  
Dragon has been around the longest, and I hear that Google is using UN  
transcriptions + audio files to build a similar program (but does not  
yet have a marketable product).  I need to be able to tell my computer  
to search the web, work in excel, prezi or powerpoint, Word, write  
emails.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I have 1.5 years before I  
go up for tenure and need to maintain my current level of productivity!

best
sarah

My wife used Dragon extensively, about seven years ago, for transcribing old census data.  She read the handwriting to enter it into custom spreadsheets.  It took some time to train it to her Texas accent.  I can still clearly hear, in my mind, her most frequent comment, "Erase that".  She loved the program - and it has only improved since then.

Hello,

You might want to consider a convertible pen tablet. They are pretty
great for navigating your computer and writing in words. The
ergonomics tend to be a bit better then a mouse interface.

I would second that notion.  I got an HP tablet with pen and writing conversion toward the end of the census transcription project.  For grins, I tried a census image and it did a credible job of text conversion.  Of course, folks in the 1800s had better and more consistent handwriting than we do.
