Lightweight or portable speech to text or dictation app ?

[smallhagrid]

I once had a nice, lightweight speech to text app that worked pretty well.

It was a little while back and I quit using it for a while as I was in a non-private space.

Of course that PC croaked and I lost it...and cannot remember it's name anymore.

I know Dragon and IBM made some big monster ones and that's not what I'm after.

I searched on "speech to text" and dictation stuff on the web as well as at portablefreeware.com and portableapps.com and came up with nothing I can use on my XP box.

(Deskshare has a free one but it doesn't run on XP anymore...)

Tried also searching places like filetram but 'dictation' brings a bunch of MP3s and "speech to text" gets reversed and becomes "text to speech" - which is not at all what I'm after.

Any recommendations or shares that anybody here can point me at, please ??

Thanks.

Thanks...but:

Backwards misunderstanding of what I am seeking.

Balabolka and Textaloud are Text-To-Speech.

What I seek is SPEECH-to-text - as in, dictation - like to talk into a mic to have the words go into an email...

Thanks for trying Blackchildcx.

Maybe it was Tazti that you were using?

http://download.cnet.com/Tazti-Speech-Recognition-Software-for-Windows-XP/3000-7239_4-10702965.html

Just be careful, don't hit the big green download button, but the "direct download link". Or even better install Adware Atomizer before downloading from Cnet

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/272197

The program has free and pro version

http://www.tucows.com/preview/513858/Tazti-for-XPXP-Pro-Speech-Voice-Recognition-Software-Dictation-PC-Game-Gaming-Aide-API-Utility

It has no relation with the word portable though, sorry

I saw the Tazti site when I was searching and it says this=>

Important Note: tazti only works on Windows machines running Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 You must have a 64-bit version of Windows.

I saw no free version of it - so maybe Tucows links to an older version ??

(One that works on XP with medicine would be pretty cool if I could find such a thing !!)

Wow - a payware for Linux:
