Common problems on a desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux OS)

Error: 'speechtexter cannot access your microphone'..

Please give permission to access your microphone.

Click on the "padlock" icon next to the URL bar, find the "microphone" option, and choose "allow".

Error: 'No speech was detected. Please try again'.

If you get this error while you are speaking, make sure your microphone is set as the default recording device on your browser [see step 2].

If you're using a headset, make sure the mute switch on the cord is off.

Error: 'Network error'

The internet connection is poor. Please try again later.

The result won't transfer to the "editor".

The result confidence is not high enough or there is a background noise. An accumulation of long text in the buffer can also make the engine stop responding, please make some pauses in the speech.

The results are wrong.

Please speak loudly and clearly. Speaking clearly and consistently will help the software accurately recognize your words.

Reduce background noise. Background noise from fans, air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. can drop the accuracy significantly. Try to reduce background noise as much as possible.

Speak directly into the microphone. Speaking directly into the microphone enhances the accuracy of the software. Avoid speaking too far away from the microphone.

Speak in complete sentences. Speaking in complete sentences will help the software better recognize the context of your words.

Can I upload an audio file and get the transcription?

No, this feature is not available.

How do I transcribe an audio (video) file on my PC or from the web?

Playback your file in any player and hit the 'mic' button on the SpeechTexter website to start capturing the speech. For better results select "Stereo Mix" as the default recording device on your browser, if you are accessing SpeechTexter and the file from the same device.

I don't see the "Stereo mix" option (Windows OS)

"Stereo Mix" might be hidden or it's not supported by your system. If you are a Windows user go to 'Control panel' → Hardware and Sound → Sound → 'Recording' tab. Right-click on a blank area in the pane and make sure both "View Disabled Devices" and "View Disconnected Devices" options are checked. If "Stereo Mix" appears, you can enable it by right clicking on it and choosing 'enable'. If "Stereo Mix" hasn't appeared, it means it's not supported by your system. You can try using a third-party program such as "Virtual Audio Cable" or "VB-Audio Virtual Cable" to create a virtual audio device that includes "Stereo Mix" functionality.

How to use the voice commands list?

The voice commands list allows you to insert the punctuation, some text, or run some preset functions using only your voice. On the first column you enter your voice command. On the second column you enter a punctuation mark or a function. Voice commands are case-sensitive. Available functions: #newparagraph (add a new paragraph), #undo (undo the last change), #redo (redo the last change)

To use the function above make a pause in your speech until all previous dictated speech appears in your note, then say "insert a new paragraph" and wait for the command execution.

Found a mistake in the voice commands list or want to suggest an update? Follow the steps below:

• Navigate to the voice commands list [↑] on this website.
• Click on the edit button to update or add new punctuation marks you think other users might find useful in your language.
• Click on the "Export" button located above the voice commands list to save your list in JSON format to your device.

Next, send us your file as an attachment via email. You can find the email address at the bottom of the page. Feel free to include a brief description of the mistake or the updates you're suggesting in the email body.

Your contribution to the improvement of the services is appreciated.

Can I prevent my custom voice commands from disappearing after closing the browser?

SpeechTexter by default saves your data inside your browser's cache. If your browsers clears the cache your data will be deleted. However, you can export your custom voice commands to your device and import them when you need them by clicking the corresponding buttons above the list. SpeechTexter is using JSON format to store your voice commands. You can create a .txt file in this format on your device and then import it into SpeechTexter. An example of JSON format is shown below:

{ "period": ".", "full stop": ".", "question mark": "?", "new paragraph": "#newparagraph" }

I lost my dictated work after closing the browser.

SpeechTexter doesn't store any text that you dictate. Please use the "autosave" option or click the "download" button (recommended). The "autosave" option will try to store your work inside your browser's cache, where it will remain until you switch the "text autosave" option off, clear the cache manually, or if your browser clears the cache on exit.

Common problems on the Android app

I get the message: 'speech recognition is not available'..

How to use speech to text in Microsoft Word

Speech to text in Microsoft Word is a hidden gem that is powerful and easy to use. We show you how to do it in five quick and simple steps

Master the skill of speech to text in Microsoft Word and you'll be dictating documents with ease before you know it. Developed and refined over many years, Microsoft's speech recognition and voice typing technology is an efficient way to get your thoughts out, create drafts and make notes.

Just like the best speech to text apps that make life easier for us when we're using our phones, Microsoft's offering is ideal for those of us who spend a lot of time using Word and don't want to wear out our fingers or the keyboard with all that typing. While speech to text in Microsoft Word used to be prone to errors which you'd then have to go back and correct, the technology has come a long way in recent years and is now amongst the best text-to-speech software .

Regardless of whether you have the best computer or the best Windows laptop , speech to text in Microsoft Word is easy to access and a breeze to use. From connecting your microphone to inserting punctuation, you'll find everything you need to know right here in this guide. Let's take a look...

How to use speech to text in Microsoft Word: Preparation

The most important thing to check is whether you have a valid Microsoft 365 subscription, as voice typing is only available to paying customers. If you’re reading this article, it’s likely your business already has a Microsoft 365 enterprise subscription. If you don’t, however, find out more about Microsoft 365 for business via this link . 

The second thing you’ll need before you start voice typing is a stable internet connection. This is because Microsoft Word’s dictation software processes your speech on external servers. These huge servers and lighting-fast processors use vast amounts of speech data to transcribe your text. In fact, they make use of advanced neural networks and deep learning technology, which enables the software to learn about human speech and continuously improve its accuracy. 

These two technologies are the key reason why voice typing technology has improved so much in recent years, and why you should be happy that Microsoft dictation software requires an internet connection. 

Once you’ve got a valid Microsoft 365 subscription and an internet connection, you’re ready to go!

Step 1: Open Microsoft Word

Simple but crucial. Open the Microsoft Word application on your device and create a new, blank document. We named our test document “How to use speech to text in Microsoft Word - Test” and saved it to the desktop so we could easily find it later.

Step 2: Click on the Dictate button

Once you’ve created a blank document, you’ll see a Dictate button and drop-down menu on the top right-hand corner of the Home menu. It has a microphone symbol above it. From here, open the drop-down menu and double-check that the language is set to English.

One of the best parts of Microsoft Word’s speech to text software is its support for multiple languages. At the time of writing, nine languages were supported, with several others listed as preview languages. Preview languages have lower accuracy and limited punctuation support.

Step 3: Allow Microsoft Word access to the Microphone

If you haven’t used Microsoft Word’s speech to text software before, you’ll need to grant the application access to your microphone. This can be done at the click of a button when prompted.

It’s worth considering using an external microphone for your dictation, particularly if you plan on regularly using voice to text software within your organization. While built-in microphones will suffice for most general purposes, an external microphone can improve accuracy due to higher quality components and optimized placement of the microphone itself.

Step 4: Begin voice typing

Now we get to the fun stuff. After completing all of the above steps, click once again on the dictate button. The blue symbol will change to white, and a red recording symbol will appear. This means Microsoft Word has begun listening for your voice. If you have your sound turned up, a chime will also indicate that transcription has started. 

Using voice typing is as simple as saying aloud the words you would like Microsoft to transcribe. It might seem a little strange at first, but you’ll soon develop a bit of flow, and everyone finds their strategies and style for getting the most out of the software. 

These four steps alone will allow you to begin transcribing your voice to text. However, if you want to elevate your speech to text software skills, our fifth step is for you.

Step 5: Incorporate punctuation commands

Microsoft Word’s speech to text software goes well beyond simply converting spoken words to text. With the introduction and improvement of artificial neural networks, Microsoft’s voice typing technology listens not only to single words but to the phrase as a whole. This has enabled the company to introduce an extensive list of voice commands that allow you to insert punctuation marks and other formatting effects while speaking. 

We can’t mention all of the punctuation commands here, but we’ll name some of the most useful. Saying the command “period” will insert a period, while the command “comma” will insert, unsurprisingly, a comma. The same rule applies for exclamation marks, colons, and quotations. If you’d like to finish a paragraph and leave a line break, you can say the command “new line.” 

These tools are easy to use. In our testing, the software was consistently accurate in discerning words versus punctuation commands.

Microsoft’s speech to text software is powerful. Having tested most of the major platforms, we can say that Microsoft offers arguably the best product when balancing cost versus performance. This is because the software is built directly into Microsoft 365, which many businesses already use. If this applies to your business, you can begin using Microsoft’s voice typing technology straight away, with no additional costs. 

We hope this article has taught you how to use speech to text software in Microsoft Word, and that you’ll now be able to apply these skills within your organization.

How to use speech-to-text on Microsoft Word to write and edit with your voice

• You can use speech-to-text on Microsoft Word through the "Dictate" feature.
• With Microsoft Word's "Dictate" feature, you can write using a microphone and your own voice.
• When you use Dictate, you can say "new line" to create a new paragraph and add punctuation simply by saying the punctuation aloud.
• If you're not satisfied with Word's built-in speech-to-text feature, you can use a third-party program like Dragon Home.
• Visit Business Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories.

While typing is certainly the most common way to create and edit documents in Microsoft Word , you're not limited to using a keyboard. 

Word supports speech-to-text, which lets you dictate your writing using voice recognition. 

Speech-to-text in Word is convenient and surprisingly accurate, and can help anyone who has issues typing with a typical keyboard. 

You can use speech-to-text in Microsoft Word in the same way on both Mac and PC.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

Apple macbook pro (from $1,299.00 at apple), acer chromebook 15 (from $179.99 at walmart), how to use speech-to-text on word using dictate.

Make sure you have a microphone connected to your computer. This can be built-in, like on a laptop, or a separate mic that you plug into the USB or audio jack. 

It doesn't matter which type you use, though the best kind of mic to use is a headset, as it won't need to compete with as much background noise as a built-in microphone.

1. In Microsoft Word, make sure you're in the "Home" tab at the top of the screen, and then click "Dictate."

2. You should hear a beep, and the dictate button will change to include a red recording light. It's now listening for your dictation. 

3. Speak clearly, and Word should transcribe everything you say in the current document. Speak punctuation aloud as you go. You can also say "New line," which has the same effect as pressing the Enter or Return key on the keyboard. 

4. When you're done dictating, click "Dictate" a second time or turn it off using your voice by saying, "Turn the dictate feature off."

You can still type with the keyboard while Dictate is on, but if you click outside of Word or switch to another program, Dictate will turn itself off.  

Want to change languages? You can click the downward arrow on the Dictate button to choose which of nine or so languages you want to speak. You might also see additional "Preview Languages," which are still in beta and may have lower accuracy.

Speech-to-text alternatives

You're not limited to using the Dictate feature built into Word. While not as popular as they once were, there are several commercial speech-to-text apps available which you can use with Word. 

The most popular of these, Dragon Home , performs the same kind of voice recognition as Word's Dictate, but it also lets you control Word, format text, and make edits to your text using your voice. It works with nearly any program, not just Word.

Speech Synthesis, Recognition, and More With SpeechT5

SpeechT5 was originally described in the paper SpeechT5: Unified-Modal Encoder-Decoder Pre-Training for Spoken Language Processing by Microsoft Research Asia. The official checkpoints published by the paper’s authors are available on the Hugging Face Hub.

If you want to jump right in, here are some demos on Spaces:

• Speech Synthesis (TTS)
• Voice Conversion
• Automatic Speech Recognition

Introduction

SpeechT5 is not one, not two, but three kinds of speech models in one architecture.

• speech-to-text for automatic speech recognition or speaker identification,
• text-to-speech to synthesize audio, and
• speech-to-speech for converting between different voices or performing speech enhancement.

The main idea behind SpeechT5 is to pre-train a single model on a mixture of text-to-speech, speech-to-text, text-to-text, and speech-to-speech data. This way, the model learns from text and speech at the same time. The result of this pre-training approach is a model that has a unified space of hidden representations shared by both text and speech.

At the heart of SpeechT5 is a regular Transformer encoder-decoder model. Just like any other Transformer, the encoder-decoder network models a sequence-to-sequence transformation using hidden representations. This Transformer backbone is the same for all SpeechT5 tasks.

To make it possible for the same Transformer to deal with both text and speech data, so-called pre-nets and post-nets were added. It is the job of the pre-net to convert the input text or speech into the hidden representations used by the Transformer. The post-net takes the outputs from the Transformer and turns them into text or speech again.

A figure illustrating SpeechT5’s architecture is depicted below (taken from the original paper ).

During pre-training, all of the pre-nets and post-nets are used simultaneously. After pre-training, the entire encoder-decoder backbone is fine-tuned on a single task. Such a fine-tuned model only uses the pre-nets and post-nets specific to the given task. For example, to use SpeechT5 for text-to-speech, you’d swap in the text encoder pre-net for the text inputs and the speech decoder pre and post-nets for the speech outputs.

Note: Even though the fine-tuned models start out using the same set of weights from the shared pre-trained model, the final versions are all quite different in the end. You can’t take a fine-tuned ASR model and swap out the pre-nets and post-net to get a working TTS model, for example. SpeechT5 is flexible, but not that flexible.

Text-to-speech

SpeechT5 is the first text-to-speech model we’ve added to 🤗 Transformers, and we plan to add more TTS models in the near future.

For the TTS task, the model uses the following pre-nets and post-nets:

Text encoder pre-net. A text embedding layer that maps text tokens to the hidden representations that the encoder expects. Similar to what happens in an NLP model such as BERT.

Speech decoder pre-net. This takes a log mel spectrogram as input and uses a sequence of linear layers to compress the spectrogram into hidden representations. This design is taken from the Tacotron 2 TTS model.

Speech decoder post-net. This predicts a residual to add to the output spectrogram and is used to refine the results, also from Tacotron 2.

The architecture of the fine-tuned model looks like the following.

Here is a complete example of how to use the SpeechT5 text-to-speech model to synthesize speech. You can also follow along in this interactive Colab notebook .

SpeechT5 is not available in the latest release of Transformers yet, so you'll have to install it from GitHub. Also install the additional dependency sentencepiece and then restart your runtime.

First, we load the fine-tuned model from the Hub, along with the processor object used for tokenization and feature extraction. The class we’ll use is SpeechT5ForTextToSpeech .

Next, tokenize the input text.

The SpeechT5 TTS model is not limited to creating speech for a single speaker. Instead, it uses so-called speaker embeddings that capture a particular speaker’s voice characteristics. We’ll load such a speaker embedding from a dataset on the Hub.

The speaker embedding is a tensor of shape (1, 512). This particular speaker embedding describes a female voice. The embeddings were obtained from the CMU ARCTIC dataset using this script , but any X-Vector embedding should work.

Now we can tell the model to generate the speech, given the input tokens and the speaker embedding.

This outputs a tensor of shape (140, 80) containing a log mel spectrogram. The first dimension is the sequence length, and it may vary between runs as the speech decoder pre-net always applies dropout to the input sequence. This adds a bit of random variability to the generated speech.

To convert the predicted log mel spectrogram into an actual speech waveform, we need a vocoder . In theory, you can use any vocoder that works on 80-bin mel spectrograms, but for convenience, we’ve provided one in Transformers based on HiFi-GAN. The weights for this vocoder , as well as the weights for the fine-tuned TTS model, were kindly provided by the original authors of SpeechT5.

Loading the vocoder is as easy as any other 🤗 Transformers model.

To make audio from the spectrogram, do the following:

We’ve also provided a shortcut so you don’t need the intermediate step of making the spectrogram. When you pass the vocoder object into generate_speech , it directly outputs the speech waveform.

And finally, save the speech waveform to a file. The sample rate used by SpeechT5 is always 16 kHz.

The output sounds like this ( download audio ):

That’s it for the TTS model! The key to making this sound good is to use the right speaker embeddings.

You can play with an interactive demo on Spaces.

💡 Interested in learning how to fine-tune SpeechT5 TTS on your own dataset or language? Check out this Colab notebook with a detailed walk-through of the process.

Speech-to-speech for voice conversion

Conceptually, doing speech-to-speech modeling with SpeechT5 is the same as text-to-speech. Simply swap out the text encoder pre-net for the speech encoder pre-net. The rest of the model stays the same.

The speech encoder pre-net is the same as the feature encoding module from wav2vec 2.0 . It consists of convolution layers that downsample the input waveform into a sequence of audio frame representations.

As an example of a speech-to-speech task, the authors of SpeechT5 provide a fine-tuned checkpoint for doing voice conversion. To use this, first load the model from the Hub. Note that the model class now is SpeechT5ForSpeechToSpeech .

We will need some speech audio to use as input. For the purpose of this example, we’ll load the audio from a small speech dataset on the Hub. You can also load your own speech waveforms, as long as they are mono and use a sampling rate of 16 kHz. The samples from the dataset we’re using here are already in this format.

Next, preprocess the audio to put it in the format that the model expects.

As with the TTS model, we’ll need speaker embeddings. These describe what the target voice sounds like.

We also need to load the vocoder to turn the generated spectrograms into an audio waveform. Let’s use the same vocoder as with the TTS model.

Now we can perform the speech conversion by calling the model’s generate_speech method.

Changing to a different voice is as easy as loading a new speaker embedding. You could even make an embedding from your own voice!

The original input ( download ):

The converted voice ( download ):

Note that the converted audio in this example cuts off before the end of the sentence. This might be due to the pause between the two sentences, causing SpeechT5 to (wrongly) predict that the end of the sequence has been reached. Try it with another example, you’ll find that often the conversion is correct but sometimes it stops prematurely.

You can play with an interactive demo here . 🔥

Speech-to-text for automatic speech recognition

The ASR model uses the following pre-nets and post-net:

Speech encoder pre-net. This is the same pre-net used by the speech-to-speech model and consists of the CNN feature encoder layers from wav2vec 2.0.

Text decoder pre-net. Similar to the encoder pre-net used by the TTS model, this maps text tokens into the hidden representations using an embedding layer. (During pre-training, these embeddings are shared between the text encoder and decoder pre-nets.)

Text decoder post-net. This is the simplest of them all and consists of a single linear layer that projects the hidden representations to probabilities over the vocabulary.

If you’ve tried any of the other 🤗 Transformers speech recognition models before, you’ll find SpeechT5 just as easy to use. The quickest way to get started is by using a pipeline.

As speech audio, we’ll use the same input as in the previous section, but any audio file will work, as the pipeline automatically converts the audio into the correct format.

Now we can ask the pipeline to process the speech and generate a text transcription.

Printing the transcription gives:

That sounds exactly right! The tokenizer used by SpeechT5 is very basic and works on the character level. The ASR model will therefore not output any punctuation or capitalization.

Of course it’s also possible to use the model class directly. First, load the fine-tuned model and the processor object. The class is now SpeechT5ForSpeechToText .

Preprocess the speech input:

Finally, tell the model to generate text tokens from the speech input, and then use the processor’s decoding function to turn these tokens into actual text.

Play with an interactive demo for the speech-to-text task .

SpeechT5 is an interesting model because — unlike most other models — it allows you to perform multiple tasks with the same architecture. Only the pre-nets and post-nets change. By pre-training the model on these combined tasks, it becomes more capable at doing each of the individual tasks when fine-tuned.

We have only included checkpoints for the speech recognition (ASR), speech synthesis (TTS), and voice conversion tasks but the paper also mentions the model was successfully used for speech translation, speech enhancement, and speaker identification. It’s very versatile!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone else use descript’s overdub tts to clone my voice.

No. When creating an Overdub Voice, Descript users must positively affirm their identity and give Descript their express consent to train and generate a synthesized version of their voice.

Voice-training data that does not include this Voice ID cannot be used to create an Overdub Voice. In other words, unless you specifically consent to Overdub Voice creation, Descript will not create your Overdub Voice.

We verify this consent by authenticating the audio file uploaded against our training script to ensure that the voice recorded belongs to the person submitting it.

Is Descript Text-to-Speech free?

Overdub text-to-speech is free on all Descript accounts. Pro accounts get an unlimited Overdub vocabulary.

Is there a difference between Overdub generated with the Pro subscription vs. a Creator or Free subscription?

Yes. While you can create a custom Voice on Overdub with any subscription,  Free and Creator plans are limited to a list of the 1,000 most common vocabulary words. Any words that are not on that list will be replaced with "jibber" or "jabber." To avoid this gibberish and gain access to the full vocabulary list, you can upgrade to the Pro subscription.
