dns is dragon naturally speaking and the JSay was almost $900.00.  I don't know 
about you but I'd rather have a new computer for that money. (grin)

  Hi Christine,

  Thank you very much for your offer but, I am in California.  Could you please 
tell me what DNS is?  Also, would you happen to know how much JSay runs?  
Again, thank you all very much for your input.  Take care.

  Mike

    hi,
        You would have to train dns to understand your speech.  I'm assuming it 
is your speech, if not you need to train it to understand the person who is 
speeking.  This is done by reading passages into the microphone of the 
computer.  I had my daughter train mine, since I'm too cheep to buy JSay.  Her 
voice an intonation are simular to mine and it workes like a charm now.  If you 
are doing class lectures, the speech will need to be fairly clear not with too 
much background noise.
        If you happen to live in the Denver co area I'd be happy to lend you  
my copy of dns to see if you like it.

      Hi Korin, Christine, & Cy,

      What I would like to do with this program is convert sound files that I 
have copied from my Olympus digital recorder to the computer into text files.  
Olympus tells me that Dragon Naturally Speaking is the program that will do the 
job.  Have any of you done this and how hard would doing this task for someone 
who doesn't know the program.  Your help and information will be greatly 
appreciated.  Take care.

      Mike

        Hi,

        Yes it is accessible - with J-Say, an interface program.

        Chirping Bat can give you all the information you will ever need. (LOL)

        Hi All,

         

        I am trying to find out if Dragon Naturally Speaking is accessible with 
Jaws .  Is anyone currently using this program, or have used it in the past?  
Also, if there is more than 1 version, could someone please recommend the 
version that is most compatible with Jaws?  All advice & information will be 
greatly appreciated.  Thanks much.  Take care.

         

        Mike
