Hello All,
I've begun working on a project to create text without typing. I plan present it at a future
SLO Bytes Second Session meeting.
I am only considering freeware and trialware as opposed to commercial software.
One approach is optical character recognition (OCR). The user scans a document and then uses OCR software to turn the image into text.
This is possible by pasting a .jpg image into
Microsoft OneNote, selecting
Copy Text from Picture and pasting the results into another document.
I found more OCR programs at
https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-5-free-ocr-software-tools-to-convert-your-images-into-text-nb/ and elsewhere
Another approach is to use
Speech Recognition software
One such program is
Voice Notepad; an add on for
Google Chrome - See
https://dictation.io/speech Please feel free to add the software/methods that you use.
