I have used Dragon12 to transcribe notes. You have to dictate the notes in the Dragon program first, then cut and paste to Legacy (or other programs as required). It does take time and patience (especially patience) for Dragon to learn your pronunciation of words. Over time, the Dragon become more accurate and need to make corrections becomes less and less. I don’t think it is possible to reach the point where you never have to make corrections, but even making corrections is not difficult.

Phone trees which require vocal input don't work for me ("Dec 14 1956" comes out "you said June 6, 1934, correct?") and voice dialing on my phone ("Call Home") usually looks for the wrong person ("Call Ron"). I was in a Microsoft usability study years ago for voice recognition and the results were interesting, to say the least. And I have a pretty benign accent and enunciate clearly!

I never found it terribly good, or I just did not have the patience to train it well, so I stopped using it. I have never tried to use it with Legacy for data entry so I had no comment on your request. I might sign up for that webinar, maybe it will convince me to give Dragon another try.
