Or perhaps someone /has/ used it and hates it, but prefers not to say so?

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Dragon with Legacy
Personally, I had no idea what you were talking about. Now that you've mentioned it again, I've checked the webinar schedule, and see that you're talking about a program called Dragon Dictate Naturally Speaking. Never heard of it before. I look forward to hearing more at some stage, but am not in a rush. May consider attending the webinar, but it's a bit rough getting to those at 8am local time (6am at this time of year!). :-) Wendy Scott Hall said the following on 16/07/2014 10:12: I'm assuming no response means no one on this group is using Dragon? sigh Hate to wait until December.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Dragon with Legacy
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.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Dragon with Legacy
Scott, I do not use Dragon, but worked with a person who uses it extensively. I found that there is a fair amount of editing afterwards, but suspect that varies depending on diction and ambient noise. I would be interested to try it with Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Dragon with Legacy
I do have Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 on my computer, I tried to use it to dictate emails 4 years ago when I was undergoing cancer treatment and I thought it might help. 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.
