My wife used Dragon extensively, about seven years ago, for transcribing old census data. She read the handwriting to enter it into custom spreadsheets. It took some time to train it to her Texas accent. I can still clearly hear, in my mind, her most frequent comment, "Erase that". She loved the program - and it has only improved since then.

I have a recent diagnosis of arthritis and realize that I need some kind of program like Dragon. Dragon has been around the longest, and I hear that Google is using UN transcriptions + audio files to build a similar program (but does not yet have a marketable product). I need to be able to tell my computer to search the web, work in excel, prezi or powerpoint, Word, write emails. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I have 1.5 years before I go up for tenure and need to maintain my current level of productivity! best sarah Quoting Paul Paryski <[email protected]>: > Google Translate also works quite well. > cheers, Paul > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Owen Densmore <[email protected]> > To: Complexity Coffee Group <[email protected]> > Sent: Tue, May 29, 2012 10:32 am > Subject: [FRIAM] SayHi Translate - Voice Translation App for iPhone > or iPad for Business > > > Kim Sorvig was over last night and we got to talking about > speech-to-text programs.
