--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you use effectively Transcription Aid® depends on whether you work alone or with the help of a secretary.
To dictate and correct yourself the automatic transcriptions of your dictations you only need one license of Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Professional and one license of Transcription Aid® Full, with one professional headset and one certified USB foot pedal. Of course, a powerful PC with at least 512 megabytes of RAM memory will be ideal.
With this setup, you
could:
- either dictate directly in the main window of Transcription Aid®
running in your PC, to correct yourself the eventual misrecognitions (approximately
2% to 3%) with the help of the foot pedal, as well as improving your user
"Speech files" for further accuracy
- or dictate outside of the office in virtually any digital recording
device, to transcribe and correct your recording with Transcription Aid®
running on your PC at a later stage.
In case you dictate exclusively out of the office, you will only need the much cheaper Preferred version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking®.
If you work with a secretary and one or two PCs, there are different ways to organize your work as illustrated in our Workflow diagram hereunder.
You dictate either on Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Professional (the “DragonPad”), Microsoft Word® or, eventually, Transcription Aid® main window. You can even mix up your dictation with processing instructions and comments for the secretary. You save the transcription and corresponding voice recording (the ".dra" file). You send it to the secretary either through the network or through the Internet (using the "Pack & E-Mail transcription for revision" utility of Transcription Aid® in the latter case).
Eventually, you can also dictate outside of the office in virtually any digital recording device, for your secretary to transcribe your recording with Transcription Aid® running on her PC later on.
In both cases, your
secretary will open your transcription within Transcription Aid® and
correct the eventual misrecognitions (approximately 2% to 3%) by comparing
the text with your voice recording for verification purposes. She will
use a certified USB foot pedal for outmost performance and comfort...
the secretary can introduce the corrections directly and quickly in the
transcription (main window of Transcription Aid®) or use the Dragon
Spell window to also improve your "Speech files" for further
accuracy. She will also delete all your processing instructions and comments
after executing them... it is so easy and effective, that is difficult
to believe it!
Many international organizations, as for instance the European Union,
NATO and the United Nations already use this pioneering technology. A
substantial number of lawyers and medical doctors also benefit from it
with a high degree of enthusiasm and satisfaction.
