Using Windows Speech to Text

[jmair]

We can use the win32com to get text use windows built in text to speech, but can we use the speech to text? Every time I search for it I can only find google api or windows bing. But there has got to be a way to access the already available capability. Where can I look?
Thanks!

There's SpeechRecognition which can be used offline (or on) see: https://pypi.org/project/SpeechRecognition/
I've played with it a bit, need to find or write training software

Yeah, I've seen a bunch of others out there, but the .net one is right there and pretty good already. I opted to solve my problem using FBchat and androids build in speech to text.
