Subject: RE: Tech: Software advice needed
Hi Jim,
I had some experience of voice recognition software in a previous existence(and borrowed it). They all seem to be designed for dictation (the Chief Excutive even got rid of his Secretary)- there were phenomenal problems with working with recorded material. It needs training for EACH voice that it tries to interpret - and any extraneous noise (like background) really buggers it up. I'd agree with those who say it's more trouble than it's worth! - Sorry!
