WANTED: A public domain program that will convert a file containing
audio/spoken text on a Sun4 to written text.


With a microphone one can capture speech to files on a Sun4. I want a
program that can convert the spoken words into text.
It does not have to operate in real-time (in fact, its highly unlikely
to do so).
It does not have to be independent of user (its OK if a user has to
train it to understand their own spoken words).
Its OK if I speek for 1/2 hour (one second speech ~~ 8KMb disks) and then
spends all night figuring out a best fit to text.
