I want to build a voice interface onto Filemaker 13. It would use voice commands to search / find records, convert field text from text to speech, then play back the audio one field at a time. Any ideas where to start? Anyone know how to do it?

I'm using Naturally Speaking on Win 8.1 and it converts voice to text very well. I use Captivate on Win 8.1, which has a text-to-voice function that also works well. So, Windoze does support voice-to-text and text-to-voice and it does a pretty good job. The concept is to develop something like Naturally Speaking to interact with Filemaker databases, then convert text fields to audio for playback. Kinda like attaching an interactive voice response system to Filemaker. I think it would require VXML. Who can do it?

I am not sure what exactly you are looking for. This cannot be accomplished by using the tools provided in Filemaker to developers. It may be possible (I don't really know) to build as a plugin. For starters, you would need to know how to build a Filemaker plugin AND how to convert speech to text. I haven't got a clue in either but if I did, I would probably seek to to invest such skills in something more feasible (and profitable).
