I know that meetings can be recorded within OneNote. Is it then possible to
convert the voices to text? Does this require an add-in?

Dragon Naturally Speaking 9.5 claims the ability to recognize dictation but
I haven't tried it.

The OneNote audio recorder is so efficient I prefer to use ON for recording
voice over's for video demos.

OneNote itself cannot transcribe from voice to text. It can search through
audio and video files to words though. In tools \ options \ audio and video,
there is a checkbox to allow search to look through those types of files for
words.

In the OneNote 2007 Guide, the second to last page in the "More Cool
Features" section has a short tutorial on how to enable this, and includes
some tips to make it work better.

Hope this helps,

John,

Do you know if this feature works in onenote 2007 installed on XP with
Search Desktop installed also?

even if I click under "tools" to enable this audio search indexing
functionality, it does not index audio files. Therefore when I search it does
not find any words on the recorded speech.

any clues?

yes, it works in that configuration.

How long did you wait after enabling search before searching? The searching
takes a long time (hours are easily possible) to build the initial index, and
the process typically runs at low priority.
