Enhancing Fieldwork Learning: Dictation software

Enhancing Fieldwork Learning: Dictation software

Interesting! I have just installed the latest Dragon Dictate on my Mac Air. I am still training it for technical words and will report back on this for various configurations. The idea is to use it as a field notebook. However, it may suffer from ambient noise disturbing things (better noise cancelling mic other than the Plantronics one supplied might help). This could be a problem with wind noise in the field. However, the biggest problem for transcribing interviews will be the need to train the software for each user. I'll try this anyway and report back.
