I am looking for a solution to use a speech audio file and convert the speech into text.
This is for an idea to use the speech in any language (French, German, Polish for example) to create a text file and then translate the text into English in order to understand it.
I have found a nice solution that works for Mac using Audacity and Soundflower, but I didn't find any alternative to Sounflower that would work in a Windows PC.
There are some expensive solution like Dragon and Adobe Premier and other free solutions but I don't think they are good enough as they are too simple.
There is also a solution from Google called Google Cloud Speech API which seems like a good solution for me (works only with Chrome). I haven't tried it yet, as I don't like anything in the cloud and I am hoping to find a solution similar to the Mac.
Speech API - Speech Recognition
By the way, any idea how much a mac cost? Can I use an old PC and install Mac O/S (need a Mac keyboard obviously). Unfortunately I have never used a Mac in my life.
Thanks for your help.
