[Air-l] transcription tools?

[jeremy hunsinger]

I tried the dragon system with the dragon recorder, it didn't work well 
because dragon required the training for the voice to be recognized.  
with it trained to recognize my voice it was only partly reliable, i'd 
say 70%, and fixing it was harder than transcribing it from a pedal 
controlled tape.  I also tried a regular digital recorder and it worked 
more or less the same way.  the real issue is with the training of the 
software to recognize voices and the specialized languages of certain 
professions, but I also highly recommend having a recorder with a real 
external microphone because you get better fidelity and somewhat better 
recognition or so i thought when i tried it.  of course my experience 
is 2 years old now, so technologies may have improved.
