The most accurate transcriptions were of recordings I made in my office, windows closed, with background noise at a minimum. The transcriptions of those recordings were 85 to 95 percent accurate.

5 years ago there were still several STT applications. Most seems to have given up by now, maybe because they can't compete with the Dragon / MacSpeech Dictate or Adobe Audition CSS 5.5. Google Translation includes STT, but it is not yet convincing. Also, Chrome makes Text-to-speak & Speak-to-text become a part of HTML-5, but it is still primitive. If you already have a iPhone 5, it may be the most affordable way to go!

At first I also marked "Software Reviews", but then I removed the marking, before voting. Software reviews are a wonderful thing, I love them - but only when they are actual / not obsolete! Much too often we see that the software was updated, but the review wasn't. Of course most reviews say "this is for version 1.23" or so, but inside the readers head this program is doomed for ever (if 1.23 had a bad review), never minding that the author most likely would try to improve on his program after reading the review...

I voted for better organisation. Several coders have some brilliant apps hidden deep down in "General Software Discussion".

Did you keep a copy of the original files in the original order, (so you can delete the new unwanted order), or have you literally moved them all?
Are you certain that you are using version 1.2 (not 1.0)? edited: 1.2, of course.

General Software Discussion / Quizo’s back!
« Last post by Curt on June 08, 2011, 09:05 AM »
The rumour about my death, was exaggerated!
-Quizo


Quizo’s back!
By ShiningMasamune, on June 3rd, 2011

He’s uploaded a beta of his own 2.0 version on the original site.

On the one hand, he’s fixed a few things that I couldn’t, including the Desktop bar.  Plus the icons have a fresh coat of paint, and the options dialog (while still a little messy) appears to have been redesigned.  However, a lot of other stuff is broken.

I don’t know what this means for me.  Should our versions merge?  Would he even agree to that?  Should I just keep going and fork the project?  That Quizo released this without so much as a cursory email to me is pretty upsetting.  I have to wonder if he’s mad at me for taking over.

To top it off, this happened at the worst possible time for me; I’m leaving for a trip to France in two days to attend an academic conference.  And now here I am with my head spinning off.  I really just don’t have time to deal with this right now.  I guess all I can do for now is wait to see how things play out while I’m away, and see if I can get any kind of communication going with Quizo.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the encouraging comments.  Quizo did send me an email and it looks like everything will work out.  I’ll post the full details when I return from my trip.  Au revoir!
-ShiningMasamune

It feels embarrassing to realize that I have taken part in spreading a lie. Sorry!  :-[

Softdiv Software Sdn Bhd's office is in Malaysia; they potential have 2/3 of the world's population as clients - clients who may not know the meaning of pus or pus## - and Softdiv probably don't aim at the western market anyway.

But of course I agree with what you are saying.

@Miles - Forgive me, but I am having a hard time trying to see the full picture, regarding FolderCache; so many changes over a long period of time, but still the same ultra-short description of features. Maybe you could find the time to update the homepage (changelog is still at 4.9)? I didn't take interest at first, back in April 2009 when you launched FolderCache, sorry!, but now you are telling that you are running QTTabbar and FolderCache at the same time, so suddenly I am most interested.

... find a program to copy the music files in my daughters Windows Media Player 10 playlist (.wpl file) to another directory while maintaining the original folder structure.  AV Media Copy from www.avsoft.nl does something similar ...

-excellent program!  :up:

It hasn't been updated for more than five years, (yes, this is a very old thread), but I had no problem at all, installing and using it on Vista. The GUI is logic, the procedure easy, and the copying is fast. Of course it can handle several playlist file types, including M3U playlists, not just WPL. The organization of the new folders were not important to me, so I just unchecked that option, and all 372 files from my playlist were soon gathered in a new folder.

a better link: http://www.avsoft.nl...ows-media-player.htm
The msi installation file is merely 428 Kb

This little program made my day. Thanks for telling, JeffK   :up:
One micro detail: The folder order is of course not AlbumArtist\Artist, but AlbumArtist\Album

General Software Discussion / smartphones and (lack of) security
« Last post by Curt on June 03, 2011, 04:57 PM »
mostly translated by Google:

Every three Danish home now houses a so-called smartphone - a sophisticated mobile phone that functions as a mini computer. But less than five percent protects it from hackers and viruses! In comparison, 90 percent protects their computer.

The punched security and increasing penetration gets a number of IT security experts to warn that targeted attacks on Danish smartphones is imminent. It can cost owners their credit card information, codes for private e-mail accounts, and at worst can be milked their accounts via online banking.

"Where the Danes earlier walked around with a simple phone in the pocket, they now have a computer. And because the sensitive informations, that criminals are hunting for, are stored on that computer, our security has become markedly worse", says associate professor at the IT University and hacking specialist Joseph Kiniry.


Free games on smartphones
There are already several examples of Danish credit card informations, e-mail codes, and passwords for, say, Facebook, showing up for sale on the Internet. And Joseph Kiniry's concern is shared by security experts that monitors the Danish population's vulnerability on the Internet, and the Danish telecom operators and manufacturers of security solutions.

- In the physical world, we are accustomed to someone always is protecting us. On smartphones, there is preliminary free games for criminals, said Michael Dahl Politiken.

He is the country responsible for Denmark for a world-leading antivirus company, F-Secure.

The Danes have been so active on the Internet via their small smart phones, that data traffic increased by 86 percent, from first to second half of 2010
-Politiken (Danish newspaper), Saturday

Have you secured your smartphone? :tellme:

Logos Bible Software 4 has been named the winner of the SIIA’s prestigious CODiE Award for Best Educational Reference Solution.

http://blog.logos.co...ware-industry-award/

Due to the large undertaking in rebuilding Logos from the ground up —instead of simply reusing 15–20-year old code for an update— we hoped Logos users would find Logos 4 to exceed their expectations. It did. Logos users quickly navigated past the initial learning curve Logos 4 posed, and discovered a new way of doing Bible study. And the CODiE Award judges got to see exactly what makes Logos 4 so special.

Judges put Logos 4 through a stringent review process consisting of evaluating product-specific material and online support articles and training videos. Finally, a live online product demonstration was coordinated so judges could see a first-hand demonstration before evaluating and scoring Logos 4. Part of the evaluation focused on the program’s customization features, ease of use, navigation, richness and focus of search results, and use of graphics, among other components.

Based on the above components, Logos Bible Software 4 seemed to be exactly what the Best Educational Reference Solution category was intended for. Among others in the same category, Logos 4 beat out NBC News Archives on Demand from NBC Learn.

Some 425 products and services were nominated this year. Then third-party judges reviewed and evaluated each item before determining finalists. SIIA members then reviewed the finalists and voted to select the winners.

Winning the 2011 CODiE Award now puts Logos Bible Software in the company of past CODiE Award winners such as Adobe, Dell, Cision, Red Hat, SalesForce, Wall Street Journal Professional, and Zendesk.

-I agree the titles are confusing... at least, I never understood them! Not until I read your posts just now did I realize that Shorter was larger - I obviously never noticed the difference in price; my eyes and interest just stopped when I saw the shorter-word. Hmm... not too flattering [red face]. So now I must acquire the Shorter edition in order to upgrade my "definitive English dictionary reference" - Confusing, indeed!
