For some reason I have never done well with any ​voice recognition system. Phone trees which require vocal input don't work for me (Dec 14 1956 comes out you said June 6, 1934, correct?) and voice dialing on my phone (Call Home) usually looks for the wrong person (Call Ron). ​I was in a

I have used Dragon12 to transcribe notes. You have to dictate the notes in the Dragon program first, then cut and paste to Legacy (or other programs as required). It does take time and patience (especially patience) for Dragon to learn your pronunciation of words. Over time, the Dragon

Since yesterday, every time I hit the family search Icon, the family search comes up, but it takes about 5-10 minutes to load, and if I hit anything on the family search page I get the circle icon and I get a message that it has stopped working, worried that if I uninstall it I will have

Scott, What benefit you get from Dragon will depend on more than word recognition accuracy. There's also how you work, the material, program input and editing for your purpose. Back 30 odd years, I used a service to transcribe field notes and preliminary report drafts from tapes. Later, I

Ditto, ditto, ditto! I thought it would be useful for entering material from an old newspaper. Wrong. From what I can make out, in the US you need to be a native-born speaker of midwest -- the lack of accent most Network TV announcers have -- working in a fairly sound-proof environment for

If you just want to try it out to see what it would be like, Windows has had a speech recognition application built-in since Vista. I'm sure it isn't as full-blown as Dragon, but you could get a taste of the beast. You do have to train it to your voice, just like Dragon. The setup is in the

Ron, Not sure why your emails keep ending up in my spam folder.. Anyway, there is a reason, Many years ago I had Dennis at LTools create a process to automatically add spouses and parents to my database. (see the Create spouses option in LTools) That worked fine, but as the years have

Same thing happened to me. What I did was to determine the offending media delete it and all worked fine after that. I happened to have the media file elsewhere so nothing was lost. I'm very new to Legacy so what I did may not be a best practice. I was able to see which file was the problem

Thanks for the flurry of responses. I already own Dragon 12 Premium ... but disappointingly, Legacy is not directly supported by it -- seems like I basically have to build a series of custom commands. I haven't experimented enough to know how involved this would be, but what time I've spent with

Scott, Unless your hand coordination is not normal, I doubt you could ever get any speech to text program to enter data into Legacy as fast or effectively as hand entry. However if there is a hand disability, it would be a great tool to use. On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 3:06 PM, Scott Hall

I have just loaded one of the family files to Legacy 8. The pictures did not all make the switch. I just attempted to add a picture using the picture center and I had to go through a number of steps, much different than Legacy 7.5, which was really easy. Downloaded a picture, filed it in Legacy

Hi Donna, Once set up, adding media in Legacy 8 is much easier than in earlier versions. You say your attached media is on a separate drive. I assume that drive is always connected to your computer when using Legacy. If not, that is your first problem. Legacy links to media - that media must be
