What Speech-to-Text Programs are Safe to Use?

Question

Hi I recently bought a microphone for my computer (good quality--$25) and I heard about speech-to-text programs. I searched it on Google and many popped up, and I would just download but my friend has a really bad virus after downloading programs recently. I was wondering if you know of any safe ones to download.

I am especially interested in anything compatible with AIM instant messager.

Thanks =]

Answer 1

most of speech to text programs (sttp) are in the early stages of technology. Most sttps are faulty and cause words to slip accidently, so its best to just type what you are going to say then saying it. but I don't want to dissappoint so windows has a sttp built into vista, but for xp you need to download and usually cd's are your best bet.
