[ILUG] OT: Google voice workaround

[Kevin Brennan]

Apologies, re-read your email - you wanted a voice-to-text 
transcription. As an alternative to google voice there are various 
solutions for speech-to-text with Asterisk, however I have never used 
them so can't comment on how good/bad they are. Perhaps others on the 
list have experimented ?
