Speech-to-Text Captions
The Speech-to-text feature automatically creates captions from voice narration or audio on the timeline.
Capitalization and punctuation are not added during the Speech-to-text process.
Windows Speech Recognition software is not installed on computers running Microsoft Win-
dows XP. You can download and install this free software from the Microsoft website. Once
Speech Recognition software is properly installed, you are able to use the Speech-to-Text fea-
ture in Camtasia Studio.
Training for Speech Recognition Accuracy
Windows Speech Recognition provides recognition accuracy that improves with each use as it adapts to your
speaking style and vocabulary.
For more accurate speech-to-text transcription of your audio recordings, go through the Voice Training tuto-
rials provided with the Speech Recognition software. However, even with training, it is best to review all cap-
tions and edit them to ensure accuracy.
The Speech-to-text voice training works best with audio created from the voice used in the
training. If you import audio files from a person who has not completed the voice training on the
computer used for captioning, the captions are not as accurate and require more extensive edit-
ing.
