Actually did 2 or 3 @ 15 minute readings into the voice recorder for
training. Tried to do the same recording a couple of times with cooling fans
running in the background and in a silent room.
PL] you must first train Dragon NaturallySpeaking using a microphone. You then
use the digital recorder to transcribe text.

That's not the issue, I want it to correct itself when I feed it the
transcribed text.
PL] you could use the vocabulary editor to alter the written and spoken form of
different words. This would help in automatic correction since dragon would know
how you speak a word and how it is actually to be written.

That's of no use to me, I dictate into the recorder while in the field taking
notes on what I am doing for clients. Plus I talk differently when doing VR
on the computer that when in the field since I have the time. When I am in
the field, my focus is on resolving the issue(s) for the paying client.
PL] I can appreciate your situation. You would need to train different voice
profiles. When you are speaking in the office, try speaking the same way as you
would speak on the field.
> And then try transcribing from your digital recorder.
Ideally I want to do all the training with the recorder since that's what
I'll be using.
PL] you would need to read the training text into the recorder. This is doable
if you are able to print out the text. There is a section in the Dragon
NaturallySpeaking help on how to do this.

That's the crux of the matter, I work in many different environments on a
daily basis, some have higher or mixed background noise, some are quiet. Also
depending on what I am doing, my enunciating is not so good, I occaisionally
can't understand what I said with replaying over and over when manually
transcribing. I've been practicing holding the recorder at a consistent
distance and orientation and that helps a bit.

Not really as it typically has confidential information :-( If I can find
something "clean", I'll send it over.
PL] okay. Alternatively, you could generate a sample with junk data. <Smile

Just posted on the the forum
PL] I look forward to the responses there and will actively track that thread.
