Mervyn,
That's good to hear, but I would like to know if anyone has successfully
input audio from a Plextalk PTR2 into a word document using Dragon.
Thanks again.
Dave

Whilst I am by no means an expert on this topic, several of our staff
(who are not in the office as I type) have been working with the Olympus
DS-40 Digital Voice Recorder and Dragon with regard to transcribing
audio. I am led to understand that this is reasonably successful but I
am not totally aware of the process involved or the degree of
accessibility. The recorder was designed with assistance from the RNIB,
I believe, such that it has very tactile controls and voice
announcements of navigation and also plays Window Media Audio and MP3
files and Podcasts.
The members of staff that I refer to have also carried out some initial
scripting of the Olympus software on the PC for use with JAWS.
Please contact me off list if I can be of further assistance.
Regards
Mervyn

Tristram,
Has anyone tried it?

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
