Digital Recorder OverviewGet the latest info on what really works
for Mobile Users. Note: 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.
This information is a result of countless hours of in-house testing as well as testing from Nuance (The manufacturers of Dragon NaturallySpeaking).
