No, it isn't a crazy idea.
I believe the makers of Draggon did, and maybe still do, sell the
software with a dictation machine and I dare say a few around this
list have been doing speech recognition via recordings.
In fact, maybe speech recognition has now got good enough for some
broadcast material to be transcribed automatically, thus opening the
way for more material that deaf-blind people can access.
Cheers,

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.
Dave
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
