That's pretty hard to make happen. Atleast with the programs we have could get free. First the audio you hear on tape/cd or on what ever, is the mix of all the instruments and vocals. You'd need to isolate certain frequencies in order to find frequency of the human voice. But since there isn't any standard frequency you would have to "hunt" that frequency from the record. But even then you'd have noise that matched that frequency and thus make it hard to hear clearly what the person is singing. About the program that then interpret mix audio to text, I'm sure that kinda program is out there but can it do it with all that noise going on?


I have seen this done in the Mythbusters episode. They use some professional hardware to isolate audio.

"In the myth that the clay pot can record a voice, the forensic show approach referenced the episode of CSI, in which the case is solved by finding a clay pot which had recorded evidence in it."

What songs lyrics are you trying to figure out? Chances are somebody has them listed somewhere. If you can find the original lyrics to Jump In The Fire, you should be able to find anything ;)

this would be great for a lot of audio tapes or WAV or CDs that i have taped from FM live shows broadcast and VJs talk a lot over the songs!.... this is easy compared with a CD right?... since VJ`s voice have another freq?... there is some bootlegs out with voice deleted!
