RE: [WSG] Anyone had success using Dragon Naturally Speaking to transcribe audio files?
We provide voice recognition training for people who want to get the best out of Naturally Speaking. I have not tried what you are suggesting but I would expect the error rate to be unacceptable with NS version 8 or earlier because they rely on you training the machine to recognise your voice by reading some standard text (one of the options is an extract from a Dilbert book, which is great). As someone else has said, good accuracy relies on clear, consistent speech, and low background noise is essential. Nuance claim that version 9 does not need to be trained, and that it 'just works'. I am sceptical but have not used it so I can't say for certain. This version may be good enough to do the automatic transcription but I still suspect it won't.

Hi there, I'm having a go at using Dragon Naturally Speaking (http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/preferred/) to automatically transcribe audio files (mp3 and wav). It's pretty patchy so far, and I wondered if anyone has had much success with this?

A couple of contacts of mine have a disclaimer in their footers to the effect of "the words may be incorrect, but the spelling perfect" - but their email always comes through word-perfect. As far as automatic transcription of audio not spoken for purpose though, I have heard it cannot be trusted. Speech needs to be enunciated cearly and purposefully for it (although I imagine your son would have little use for this).

No, but that is interesting to hear. My son is severly dyslexic and is going to start college nxt fall.
