I'm looking for a library in python that has fairly accurate speech recognition. It would preferably return a string indicating what was said, so that I can work with the string to do other things. Thanks!!!

I looked at this related question, but I don't think we're asking the same thing.

You can use CMU Sphinx:

  • free and open source
  • recognizer library written in C but provides Python bindings
  • often mentioned as one of the best open source speech recognition engines

When looking for a speech recognition software for Linux a while ago, I was told that CMU Sphinx' accuracy is significantly lower than Dragon (I'd be curious if anyone here has a benchmark Sphinx vs Dragon). However, if your voice recordings are in a well restricted domain, you might be able to train CMU Sphinx well enough.
