Re: Using Voice Recognition for Transcription

I had an older version of DNS that was giving me excellent results. On
advice of many I upgraded. Big mistake. The version I upgraded to is not
giving me anywhere near the accuracy my old version did. I won't make that
mistake again. I haven't spent as much time with this version and I need to
"tweak" it more and use it more because one never knows when it might save
one's job! It is a fascinating program and does work remarkably well.

I have been using VR for a couple years in pretty much the same way
Barbara does. I use it part-time to give my hands a break.

I don't have much to add to her comprehensive reply, but that I also am a
bit faster with my keyboard, but not so much so that VR isn't viable for
me.

I also have a "good voice" for VR, so my accuracy with it is very good.
I'm currently using the 7.3 Medical version of DNS. It is an older
version but works so well for me that I see no need to upgrade.

Proofing when you use VR is very different from proofing when you type.
VR makes errors that you are not used to seeing and are not expecting to
see. I do proof as I go with VR, but I have to proof with much more
vigilance than when I type. The mistakes are completely different.

BTW, Vista, the new OS from Microsoft, is supposed to come with fairly
good VR built in. If you have a pc with Vista, or are considering getting
a new pc, you could try using VR for free and see how it goes. You would
probably have to do a lot more training of medical terminology, however,
than with VR software that comes with a medical dictionary.
