Digital dictation is now not entirely uncommon, use with DAISY may however be a 
noval development but MP3 based or portable digital dictatphone based 
transcription is becoming more popular.

One thing you would have to bear in mind is that where are dictation to Dragon 
is normally an interactive process where you may need to correct errors as they 
crop up working from tape, MP3 or whatever medium means this process would have 
to take place afterwards.  I can forseee that because such errors with speech 
input may become (for reasons of context) cumilative that could increase 
unintelligablity of some passages of work.

  Dave,

  I have Dragon but have never thought of combining it with files recorded via
  my ptr2, I presume you mean asking Dragon to convert audio that is of the
  voice that it has already been trained to use?  Interesting notion, I wonder
  if it's possible, I'm sure listers will tell us why it's a crazy idea?!!

  Cheers,

  Phil

  Phil,

  I too have a PTR2, I also have Dragon naturally speaking and was wondering
  if you or anyone else has successfully converted audio from the PTR2 into a
  word document.  I have never tried and would like to hear from anyone who
  has.
  Thanks in advance.

    Hi All, 
   
  Been off list for quite a while now so lost touch a bit with what's
  happening, good to be back and see the list is as active as ever! 
   
  After some suggestions for a hardware mp3 player / recorder that I can use
  to give to my personal reader to record audio onto and then for me to
  quickly & easily dump onto my hard drive for storage & playing back on my
  bookcourier / pc.  It doesn't necessarily have to be fully accessible for me
  as it will be used by a sighted person but it must be easily syncable with
  my pcc and be able to record up to record / store up to 5 hrs worth of mp3
  at a time. 
   
  I already have a plexter ptr2 which is great but I don't want to give this
  to my reader to take away and leave me without the rest of the
  time.   
   
  I do have an old Olympus dm1 recorder but I've never found it easy to sync
  and get files off and if my memory servies me right (which is no
  guarantee!) it tends to default to recording in WAV format. 
   
  Anyway your suggestions greatly appreciated. 
   
  ATb, 
   
  Phil
