Transcribing voice files (Dragon Naturally Speaking)

Yes as the answer to both questions, jce.

Chapter 13 of the DNS version 8 manual describes using these voice files in detail. I had the 'Dragon' branded voice recorder about seven years ago but can now use a pocket pc device instead. Only the Preferred and the Profession version will enable pocket pc use as it detects Active Sync and then installs the pocket pc files.

After sync, not only can you transcribe your pocket pc voice files but also archive and email the voice files.

You can also save the dictated voice file while using the Desktop DNS program and either recognize it locally or send that file via email too. I saved them for awhile but they were taking up room and were recognized and transcribed anyway. Saving the voice files are important if you want a 'legal record' of what you said rather than what is transcribed to paper or, as you are thinking of doing, send them to someone else to transcribe.

My purpose for using DNS is to save transcription fees. If you dictate, sync or send the voice files, whoever does your transcription can use DNS to get the job done quicker (although they probably charge by the word, line or page -- not much cost savings unless you employ the transcriptionist ).

Let me know if I can be of additional help.
