Abstract:

When productivity is concerned, it is important that people deliver as much output as possible. In a typical office setting for clerical people, it is expected that a number of paper works has to be dealt with. In cases where an individual is not that proficient or has difficulties in typing, the job becomes more difficult to accomplish. Hence, this study which aimed to develop a voice-to-text application for Windows using Google Speech API was conducted. The goal is to provide to people as an alternative to typing a tool to input the desired text through the use of voice. Guided with Constructive Research Method, the researchers went through series of readings particularly on the technology being used. In the development of the application, the researchers used Iterative Process Model. The study had 10 respondents that tested the functionality and acceptability of the application. All the respondents had positive feedbacks as the application was able to convert spoken words into texts. As such, the researchers conclude that the application is a good alternative to dealing with paper works. It is recommended however that for better results, the pronunciation of words be made clear as it affects the resulting texts.
