Thank you Jackie, Erich, Mark Jon, Deborah and all others! 2 projects I’ve got on the back burner. 1 – since I can’t find any voice-to-text software other than DNS ($500) and don’t wish to use the Windows/Word voice-to-text or Google options, which others have used (not just Googled but actually used) I was curious what kind of price range it would be to hire a programmer to create a voice-to-text program? For confidentiality purposes, I can't be on the net for the voice-to-text. I’m not a software developer so I have no idea the actual costs and time involved in creating, developing and completing such a project. Maybe I need to wait for that winning lottery ticket?! 2 – I wanted to create or have created a short animated object. I’ve read about Blender but with no experience creating animation it was a slog to watch Blender tutorials and then try to develop what I wanted. It was easier (although certainly not easy) to learn the basics of some free video editing software. I then posted a request to see to if anyone might help me or I could hire on Blender but that was met with a thud. The vison I have for the animated object really needs to be in 3D and not 2D although I do respect how 2D can work well in some projects. Perhaps, if I wasn’t teaching 3D printing, doing video recording, running AV, doing video editing, creating writing programs, and doing all the other tasks needed in a public library I might have a little left over time to play with Blender but not so far. Thank you for all your thoughts and suggestions. Charles. Charles Meyer Charlotte County Public Library
