Members don't see this ad.

So I saw the commercial on tv showing a lady in a classroom with her laptop item recording a lecture and it was transcribing it at the same time.
Does anyone nice of any software that sites this or that will convert a recorded file from a digital recorder to text???

Dragon Naturally Speaking is probably the "premier" talk-to-text porgram out there. If you buy the "Preferred" edition or better (now on version 11.5) it can transcribe from digital recordings. That said, there is a learning curve and it does not transcribe completely accurately-you still have to edit carefully (just like people who use a transcription service have to do. My favorite error that I read on a fellow Dragon user's note: ..."patient should be allowed to arrest when he wants" instead of "rest when he wants"). Preferred recognizes plenty of medical words, but not as robustly as the Medical edition. But Dragon Medical costs wayyy more and usually you can find an educational edition of Preferred for ~$80 (need to have an edu email or proof of academic affiliation).

i incorporate any recordings i make into my notes by listening to them again and am attempting to find a way to streamline the process.
