    Hi, I am looking for a solution that can convert speech to text. Our idea is
    to create an online portal where our customers can upload a audio file (wav,
    mp3, wma, etc) and then take that file and convert the audio to text and
    display it. Is or has sphinx done this? If so, any proof of concepts?

    Is anyone out willing to quote us on the development for this project? We
    would just need development work for the backend converting. We will make the
    upload interface and display mechanism.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Such solution is usually built with highly accurate automated transciption
    engine and following human-guided text correction. Automated solution doesn't
    provide enough accuracy. As a proof of concept you can check

    http://www.worldtech24.com/business/speakertext-automates-and-crowdsources-
    video-transcripts-100-beta-invites

    it runs using CMUSphinx. Another example is

    $500k should be enough to launch this.

    Hi, Chris,

    It depends on your task and target application/audience. For machine
    transcription to work (to be suitable for human view), it needs quite some
    requirement to the audio itself (very little noise, speaker accent, etc).

    If this is not possible, you'd have to use human, as nick suggested. There are
    tons of human transcription companies out there. They typically offer at a
    price of $2~3/minute, which is hefty if you are targeting regular people.

    Alternatively, you can check out us,
    http://nexiwave.com . We offer speech indexing, which
    you can let your user to quite accurately locate to the exact location in
    their audio, through search. They can then request for a human transcription
    if desired. We offer a Web Service API, so the backend has been taken care of.
    You only need to worry about the frontend (and integration to human
    transcription).
