Thoughts? A few. You wrote you have verbatim manuscripts, so all you need do is sync that and produce a timed-text.

You can flow the text using captiontube.appspot.com with (assuming as much) your Google account.

You asked

Will any existing speech to text programs spit out a transcript with time codes?

IF you want spittle, sure,
THEN there are wanna-be programs.

IF you want accuracy Ready for Prime Time,
THEN use a professional (human being).

Oh, yeh, I’m one of those.

Cheers, May You Be Happy… at least some of the time.

About machine transcription, and the results thereof, I agree with David and Steve, and disagree with “Emily.”

Not only do you get what you pay for, you often get more (trouble) than you pay for when you’re looking for an easy way out.

This is not to diss all that bots do. The results are ever getting better, albeit the algorithms getting trickier.

A trained transcription specialist has an edge that software just doesn’t have – experience, human evolution, education and experience (twice).

Hopefully (optimism check) doctors dictating know about this edge, and know about the pitfalls of over reliance on this stuff

I getter bet serious and go wack to bork

Experiencing similar problem with AA3 startup.
Tech support for product provided DOS tools to conduct deep uninstall, but this did not resolve problem. Tech support escalation in progress (takes days)

A particular Windows XP process (Flex?????) is not started.
