<DIV>I use Dragen Naturally Speaking 6 on windows. After training, I use a digatal vocie recorder and then feed tthis into the sound cards input. That way I can record whereever I wont with no fan noise. On long sections I skatch a rough outline first and then dictate for a smoother flow.<BR><BR><B><I>Asheville Joe <josephj@main.nc.us></I></B> wrote:
