Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred - Transcription From An Olympus Digital Voice Recorder

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred has the ability to transcribe audio from a digital voice recorder, this is known as deferred transcription.

By simply loading an audio file into Dragon NaturallySpeaking it will automatically transcribe what it hears from the audio file. The video demonstration below illustrates this technique. The audio was recorded on an Olympus DS-4000 digital voice recorder.



Dragon can take audio in .dss, .wma and .mp3 format meaning the excellent WS series note takers, the DS-30/40/50 and the digital dictaphones DS-2300, DS-3300 and DS-4000 can all be used with Dragon.

The video was recorded using iShowU. Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred version 9.5 was running on a Windows Vista virtual machine running on an iMac host. Dictate Australia uses VMWare Fusion.
