The only ASL attempts I know of were extremely simple (think the manual alphabet)
As a hearing impaired person, I find Google's speech to text engines fairly good (good enough to follow an average conversation although it does fail hilariously on more specialized stuff). I am not sure about the exact details but my understanding is the exact same engine is used in Android's LiveTranscribe app and in Chrome speech-to-text api that sites like speechnotes.co are using, and that it's also available as an API, although at a fee.
Open source speech to text engines either didn't offer the language I was interested in, or were too cumbersome to set up, even for someone who works in IT.
https://speechnotes.co/fr/ a l'air mieux pour du FR (le tiens ne fonctionne pas chez moi). Mais nombreuses fautes... windows + H offre un résultat médiocre (il enregistre la première phrase, et stop).
This in in progress. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1248897
You can test it in Nightly. Open bugs.
Set media.webspeech.recognition.enable
and media.webspeech.recognition.force_enable
to true to try it on sites like https://speechnotes.co
i suggest using voice to speech, to drop some idea while your cooking, or workout if that a possibility. Maybe your journal can be more of idea sorting on paper one a week.
google keep works great for android or https://speechnotes.co/ for desktop.
You'd be surprised, cloud-based stuff is pretty good. I can tell the quality difference when my phone is using online resources vs. relying on built in understanding. Check this site out and see how well it does with your accent. Plus VA uses comparisons and not actual deciphering, so it could be a matter of some tweaks needed to raise up its hit percentages and filter out the false positives. Takes some work, and I get if that's more time than you want to put in.
You can't use "Speech to Notes" directly with Workflowy for some reason but I often just past from the web browser into workflowy without issue. https://speechnotes.co/
I paid for the plugin also, but Workflowy seems to be the one site it won't work directly. I guess the way the code is wrapped?? Anyway, this works for me.
