Scott, I did not use Dragon, but I did use another Speech to Text program many years ago when I had about 300 obituaries that I wanted the content and ended up just reading them in using the speech to text software.
I did not enter them direct into Legacy but rather into a word file and then did cut and paste. The real key for me was spending the initial time whenever a surname came up to correct the spelling... eventually it was very good at recognizing most words, but there were many names that just never could get right. But I was surprised and pleased how much better the Speech to text was compared to around 2001 when it didnt work well at all. Hope that helps Jay On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 3:12 PM, Scott Hall <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm assuming no response means no one on this group is using Dragon? > <sigh> Hate to wait until December.
