Hi all, please bear with me since im completely new to this, doing baby
steps to understand how this works. slash
So, an audio(wma,wav) to text application would REALLY help in my job
and a friendly user from Reddit pointed me to this. He tested it and
told me for English at least, the results were pretty awesome! slash
My problem? I need Greek audio and i guess a big(?) dictionary since its
a medical job, no idea if medical terms are in regular dictionaries(no
latin words, since most medical words have a Greek root). slash
Are there any plans to add Greek? Obviously im talking about the voice
recognition and text and not the software itself. slash
Is the software compatible with external dictionaries? For example,
another software that i was looking into(does the opposite, text to
audio) had a 5.5gb Greek dictionary(its a .tgz file). slash
Please forgive me if i asked a stupid question, but ive been searching
for an offline tool like this for ages. Since its a medical job, i cant
do anything online for securities reasons.

Welcome, unfortunately there are currently no public Greek
models.

> My problem? I need Greek audio and i guess a big(?) dictionary

Yes, you need both, annotated audio and textual data (language model).

> Are there any plans to add Greek?

AFAIK, not at the moment.

> Is the software compatible with external dictionaries?

Build a language model from textual data.

Check the
guidelines,
they'll guide you to docs and the playbook. And help you ask the right
questions.

thanks for the reply! so if i understand this correctly, it seems i can
build at least a compatible greek dictionary using the one i mentioned?
so i would only be missing the audio recognition?

Start small, then build from there.

Search the forum as suggested, there were some people working on it.
