Dear List I am about to do some extensive research . I had anticipated transcribing interviews into potentially large documents which can be 30-50 pages long. I use Jaws 11 and am a reasonably proficient touch typist but nevertheless this this is likely to be an onerous task.
I had considered using Dragon Naturally Speaking as an alternative. Realistically I could not expect it to recognise the voices of my interviewees but have considered simply listening to the interviews via earphones and dictating the recording back into DNS myself. I am not sure how feasible it is to use dragon Naturally speaking with Jaws in this way. More particularly would there be a problem with the training of my voice recognition for the program? Presumably this is the only hurdle that really needs to be overcome? Dragon can be bought I see for quite reasonable cost. I have seen it advertised for about £40. I investigated the J-Say scripts to work with Jaws and there the combined dragon J-Say scripts package, in contrast, is horrifically expensive at over $800. My question is do I really need this expensive add on to work DNS with Jaws 11? I am a reasonably proficient Jaws user and would be happy to use things like the Jaws Cursor to read necessary parts of the program. Thanks for any assistance.
