Digital Transcription...."Voice to text" or speech recognition is based on software in your computer, which understands your voice, and types on screen what is verbally input into the computer. Sanyo has joined forces with the industry leader in speech recognition, IBM and using their ViaVoice software, their digital recorders are able to perform with this exciting technology. Imagine the improvements in personal productivity when you can record anywhere in the world, away from your office, and have your computer automatically type it out on your return. And now, with the new Transcription Kit, (FSUSBPro) files downloaded may be transcribed in a more traditional fashion ... one which many offices have used for years. FSUSBPro Transcription System includes: USB Foot Pedal, Transcription Software, Premium Headset, User Manual.
A1 Fax & Office Equipment Inc is a certified reseller for Dragon Naturally Speaking speech recognition software. See the Pro 10 version. This software is amazing! Major improvements. Start dictating right out of the box.
Before You Buy A Digital Recorder Transcriber....Digital voice recordings last longer than tape. And you can't feed a tape into a PC. Even better, digital recorder transcribers let you do more than listen to the voice data you've recorded once it's uploaded; they can operate as full-function transcribers as well.
You have to pick and choose carefully, however, to be sure you select a digital recorder transcriber that has all the capabilities your business needs. Some digital recorder transcribers offer recording times of up to 22 hours, which is great for road trips. Be sure to check, however, how long you can record in high quality mode, because this is the quality of recording voice-to-print software will need for transcription.
And consider this....if you purchase a digital recorder with built-in memory, what will you do if the memory becomes corrupt? Yup....better get a professional digital dictation system that has removable memory cards.
For file management purposes, be sure that the digital voice recorder transcriber will store voice data in a minimum of three separate folders. Look for a digital recorder transcriber with a full range of features to make managing your recording tasks easier. Does the digital recorder have voice activation, for instance, which stops recording automatically whenever there's a period of silence, or include cue/review features that make it easier for you to find the section of the recording you want to play back? Does the digital recorder have an LCD display and what information is displayed? You'd be hard pressed to find a digital recorder transcriber that didn't allow you to transfer voice data to a PC, but look for one that uses a USB interface and doesn't require you to purchase a separate adapter to transfer your files.
If you're going to share your digital recorder transcriber with your business associates or employees, look for one that allows individual user IDs. Some transcription software includes management features, such as allowing you to assign different work types to dictation, or automatically sending all your downloaded transcription to a specific e-mail address.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking.....Digital Recorders are an add-on product for Dragon NaturallySpeaking Solutions; you do not need a digital recorder to use speech recognition software. Most users use a microphone headset and dictate directly into their PC. Digital recorders are used primarily by mobile users who are unable to tie themselves down to a PC. The audio files are downloaded to the pc from the digital recorder via a USB cable, converted to the proper file format and automatically transcribed by Dragon NaturallySpeaking Solutions.
