Absolutely.

Under the Sound menu of the DragonBar, you can 'Transcribe Recording' from an audio file location that you specify and also 'Play That Back' so you can listen to the highlighted transcribed part or all of the voice-recognized file that you imported to proof the transcription.

So...send the file to the transcriptionist, import it into DNS version 8 (Professional or Preferred) using the Sound menu item to Transcribe recording, highlight part or all of the voice-recognized document and listen to it -- I just highlight parts that I want a closer examination of before signing off on the document -- I dictate technical documents that are mission critical so accuracy counts. I also listen to the document so that it 'sounds' correct as I don't quite trust either the grammar checker in Microsoft Word or my ability to correct a written document at 3 AM.

Well I guess that should help you get started.
