convert voice recording to text

I have used my iphone 5 to record two interviews.  They are quite long files as interviews were around 45 minutes.  I want to find an app that can convert these existing files to text.  I realise they will not be 100% accurate but even if it was 80% that would save me a lot of time.  Anyone know of an app that does this.  Many thanks

Rather than getting all techy, you could try getting hold of another iPhone/iPad/Mac and play the recordings into the normal dictation facilities that the devices already have. Then email the file you get back to the device where you want it.  I haven't tried it, but it might be worth a quick experiment if you have the second device handy 

The problem with having an app to do what you want would be the problem of running two apps simultaneously, which is generally not possible.

I am not sure how this helps.  Surely I end up with another voice recorded file.  I need an app that can convert my existing voice recording to a text file.  If it,means playing the file to an app I can do that but I need the app to save it as a text file rather than an audio file.  Dont worry about the tech bit i am pretty savvy.

Thanks

Thanks but I have looked for a dictation facility on my iPhone and cannot see it.  What is it called?  The other bits I can do but cannot find "the normal dictation facilities that the devices already have" 

The name of the app would help a great deal.  Many thanks

There is no app. Tonefox is talking about the built in speech to text such as is available on your iPhone, Mac or most Android phones.

You might also look at a services like this:

Assuming an up to date OS, any app that presents you with a keyboard! Look for the microphone on the bottom row. For example:  Notes, Word, Mail, Evernote, Safari, Facebook....   Or search the App store for dedicated Voice Recognition apps.

User Guide page 30.

OK - I am not obviously grasping what I am being told.  Lets keep this simple.  I have about 90 mins of voice recording.  I want to turn it into text.  I have an iphone 5 and iPad 2 or another iPhone.  I can play back the voice recording and listen to it.  So I could play it on the iPhone 5 and "listen" on the iPad or another iphone.  I am fully with it so far.  The next step i am struggling with.  How do I then use "the built in speech to text such as is available on your iPhone" to turn the voice into text if there is no app.  How does the built in speech to text then operate so I have a text file?  If it is built in where do i find it and how do I initiate it to obtain the text file? 

I know I could sit and listen and audio type the file which is what I have done many times.  I was hoping there was an app that could do this automatically.  I realise it would not be perfect but sufficient for my needs.

Dragon Dictation might help. Once it translates, you can email the text to a computer and then copy and save that as a document. Dragon will work with the iPhone and iPad.

Did you read the part of the manual Tonefox linked to?

Every app that accepts keyboard input also accepts spoken input, which it then accepts as text.  Next time you see a keyboard with a microphone as one of the keys on the screen, tap the microphone, talk to it, and see what happens.  Once you've realised what is going on, choose and use any app that can send the text to where you want it.

Hi tonefox,

Got it. But i guess it will take hours.

Just tested your technique. Not worth it for long interviews. Short one or two liners are okay.

Besides the microphone (like you said) does not pick up recordings that take place in a flow (interview type scenario).

"You can, in fact, route the speech in an audio file through Apple’s speech-to-text subsystem and render very usable text output. It isn’t intuitive or Apple-easy but it is something that anyone can accomplish with a bit of determination. Here’s how"

It requires the purchase of a program and some setup but is worth the time it takes if you want to dictate a memo and get text output.

I have discovered that this fix will work in Yosemite but not in Maverick.

Neither of which have any relevance to the iPhone.
