Dear Prozians working with the Arabic language,
Is there to your knowledge any speech recognition software that is suitable for Arabic?
Anyone among you is using a speech recognition software?
I would like to hear your positive and negative experiences.
Thank you

Hi,
I have been using speech recognition software since 1998. Two brand names are generally known in this domain. IBM Gold (which has been continued for some time now) and Dragon Naturally Speaking.

For the time being, it cannot replace the typing skill if you re looking to rely on it in handling large translation projects.

Dear Zeina,
If you tried any Arabic speech recognition software with at least 70% accuracy please tick me. I am concerned too but as long as I know investments in this field are miserable and I know a company working on this 8 years ago with no remarkable results.
Kind regards
Ahmad Wadan
