Transcribing oral interviews.   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #5474 of 6172 |
This is especially for Glenn, and anyone else
burdened by lots of interviews to transcribe.

I went to the doctor recently and after his
exam, he pulled out a microphone and dictated
his report into the machine, gave me a copy
and one for my primary care doc.. He was
using Dragon Naturally Speaking 9.5 and it
only made one error!

I ran down to Fry's and bought one of the
Professional edition Dragons and started
reading up on what it can do. I have been
back to Fry's to get a small Sony recording
device.

I think I am now set up to learn how to record
interviews, or transfer tapes to hard disk,
and print the transcript, to have this Dragon
transcribe my entire backlog.

It says it can do it. I wonder if any one has
any ideas for setting this work up, whether
I will need any more equipment, etc. I would
appreciate your help and will keep you posted
on my progress.
