| Main differences between Dragon NaturallySpeaking® v. 9 (the "Extras Toolbar") and Transcription Aid® v. 4 |
Dragon NaturallySpeaking® is a remarkable speech recognition engine. However, the correction facilities that it provides are still rather limited for professional use. Enter the newest Transcription Aid® version 4 and access the following major additional features:
- Transfer the correction of transcriptions generated by Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Professional, as well as any voice recording generated with virtually any digital recorder, to a third person (transcriptionist or secretary) with the following advantages:
- Extensive support of a certified "plug & play" foot pedal (a device that is most familiar and natural to a transcriptionist)
- Playback of the voice recording of the author (the dictation or "*.dra" file), while reading the corresponding transcription in the screen, to facilitate its correction by simple comparison between the dictation and the transcribed text
- Improvement of the "Speech files" of the dictating author while correcting. Forget about spending countless hours training the speech recognition engine. Increase the author's recognition accuracy to the maximum in very little time and allow him/her to concentrate on what she/he is more productive at: dictation!
- Inclusion of useful macro commands (icons to click) for the most repetitive functions needed by a secretary correcting the transcriptions while improving the "Speech files" of the dictating author
Unlike Dragon, with which one can automatically select only full utterances (what was dictated without making a pause) for correction, Transcription Aid® 4 also allows for automatic selection for correction (with the foot pedal) of much smaller (and hence easier to handle), segments of the dictation. Besides, Version 4 incorporates the first in the world "Phonetic Checker" for Speech Recognition in English (other languages in development) and Dragon NaturallySpeaking®!
- Unique "No Playback Dropout" technology. Direct editing and correction of the transcriptions with the keyboard and mouse in the main window of Transcription Aid®, without damaging playback of the voice recording of the author (the dictation or "*.dra" file). This allows the following advantages:
- The dictating author can insert voice comments (with its corresponding automatic transcription) with instructions for the transcriptionist, anywhere within the dictation
- The transcriptionist can substantially increase its output and performance (as it can directly correct the transcription and avoid the use of the Dragon Spell window)
- The transcriptionist can hear the playback of the word or phrase to be corrected within the Dragon Spell window, for confirmation purposes, even when the "PlayBack" button is grayed out, by pressing the foot peda
- The archival of the original, unmodified, dictation or "*.dra" file for later verification or reference, even after direct corrections have been introduced by the transcriptionist (a must have feature for legal firms and hospitals)
Unlike Dragon, which incorporates another "Not Playback Dropout" option in version 9, the Transcription Aid® technology is available from version 6 to 9 and does not put any substantial delay in the system when switching from window to window...
- Simple and intuitive interface, very similar to the world leading Microsoft Word®. A key element to reduce the learning curve of the secretary and maximise output in very little time. This interface provides advanced features, unique to any currently available transcription application for Dragon NaturallySpeaking®, as for instance:
- Multilevel Undo & Redo and without damaging the dictation ("*.dra" file)
- Powerful Find & Replace also without damaging the dictation
- Open and Save Microsoft Word® ".doc" files directly
- Export the transcription as PDF document
- Main WYSIWYG window, with Normal and Print View, allowing to see the transcription within its physical context (the margins of the page)
- Margin justification, paragraph and hanging indents
- Tab settings (all standard ones)
- Automatic Bullets insertion
- "Pack & Email transcription for revision" function. Dictations (".dra" files) get quickly very big. With this exclusive function, the author can easily pack, compress and send through a network (or e-mail) to the secretary, his transcription and voice recording together for revision. All with a single click...:
- Back-end conversion of formats and transcription of multiple voice recordings (Batch transcription), using different Users/Authors Speech files. Either from virtually any digital recording application or digital recorder, PDA (Pocket PC, Palm PDA®, Sony Clié®, MP3, WMA) and even Smartphone (a world first feature!). All these facilities automatic, unattended and while the secretary uses the PC for other tasks.
Transcription Aid® 4 can also be perfectly matched, to MAKE A UNIQUE, digital dictation, speech recognition and transcription solution with the forthcoming DictAid®. This is another unique application that greatly facilitates and ENHANCES the learning of and dictation into Dragon NaturallySpeaking®. How about to configure ALL settings of Dragon with a single click; or automatically close the microphone when you start typing anything or opening your transcription and Speech file simultaneously with a single menu command? That's just a small taste of things to come...
