Abstract

A method of automatically transcribing speech comprising the steps of: recording a portion of speech to be transcribed (20); processing the recorded portion of speech (20); and transcribing the processed recording of the portion of speech to a text file (64) using a speech-to-text transcription algorithm, the speech-to-text transcription algorithm utilising a pre-existing user profile (30) to render a substantially accurate text file (64), wherein the step of processing the recorded speech comprises morphing the recorded speech such that the processed recording resembles the same portion of speech as spoken by a standardised voice, and wherein the pre-existing user profile (30) is optimised for transcribing portions of speech spoken in the standardised voice.
