My husband has been using Dragon Naturally Speaking for years, to save his 
wrists. (Interestingly, I can tell when I am reading something he wrote using 
it--there is a relaxed wordiness his typed prose does not have!)

It is a good product but it is designed for intensive use by a single voice, 
and even after years of use he needs to proofread (though he has a big vocab 
and is likely to be using new words all the time, so this may not always be 
true). Each user creates a user profile that is always being trained.

Looking for any information about audio transcription software.  Have seen 
commercials for Dragon Naturally Speaking.  Does it work or is there something 
better?
Thanks!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
