Hi, I don't have a N800 yet, but I have been watching since the 770 and am very fascinated by its potential.
I wondered if there is an application for converting voice, from the mic to text on the screen.
My elderly father is really hard of hearing, he does have hearing aids, but I never know if he really hears me. He can still read though<G>.
Is there an application for this device to translate my voice into text, through the microphone, for him to see. I figure I would face the N800 toward him.
thanks for any help

Someone might find an efficient enough algorithm that matches the capability of the N800 so I would never say never.

While there is a text-to-speech engine (flite) available, what you want is the other way around ... a speech recognition app. I have not heard of one for the N800. Unfortunately, I would suspect that there won't be since speech recognition is pretty CPU intensive and the N800 isn't a huge number cruncher. You never know though. Someone might find an efficient enough algorithm that matches the capability of the N800 so I would never say never.

You can also download telephone-bandwidth models separately. To use these with raw audio data you need the following extra command-line options:
-nfft 256
-nfilt 31
-lowerf 200
-upperf 3500
-samprate 8000
