This is the most frequently asked question. At this time there is no software on the market which will handle transcribing multiple voices or lectures. If the lecturer is wearing a microphone plugged into an approved digital recorder, it will record & transcribe the lecturer only. |

No, Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a speaker-dependent system, meaning that it trained to recognize the voice of a single user and cannot distinguish speech from more than one speaker. People have no problem understanding both Aunt Grace, who has a high, thin voice, and Cousin Paul, who has a voice like a foghorn, because people can easily adjust to the unique characteristics of every voice. Speech-recognition software, on the other hand, works best when the computer has a chance to adjust to each new speaker. The process of teaching the computer to recognize your voice is called training. |

| Carol Schnell I would say no. If people talk over each other or even if someone coughs, it will not be accurate. (Actually it isn`t accurate anyway). In my opinion, I wouldn`t waste taxpayer`s money on it. There is nothing that can replace an experienced transcriptionist`s ear and knowledge. Monday, August 30, 2010 | ||
