Scott,
What benefit you get from Dragon will depend on more than word recognition
accuracy. There's also how you work, the material, program input and editing
for your purpose. Back 30 odd years, I used a service to transcribe field notes
and preliminary report drafts from tapes. Later, I
Ditto, ditto, ditto!
I thought it would be useful for entering material from an
old newspaper. Wrong.
From what I can make out, in the US you need to be a
native-born speaker of midwest -- the lack of accent most
Network TV announcers have -- working in a fairly
sound-proof environment for
If you just want to try it out to see what it would be like, Windows has
had a speech recognition application built-in since Vista. I'm sure it
isn't as full-blown as Dragon, but you could get a taste of the beast.
You do have to train it to your voice, just like Dragon. The setup is in

Thanks for the flurry of responses. I already own Dragon 12 Premium ...
but disappointingly, Legacy is not directly supported by it -- seems like I
basically have to build a series of custom commands. I haven't
experimented enough to know how involved this would be, but what time I've

Scott,
Unless your hand coordination is not normal,
I doubt you could ever get any speech to text program to enter data into
Legacy as fast or effectively as hand entry.
However if there is a hand disability, it would be a great tool to use.

resources I can tap into on this topic?

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
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
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.

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
I'm looking forward to the webinar on this very subject, but as it is not

about how they've successfully used Dragon to input data into Legacy.
Thanks!
