Follow-up on Dragon and other dictating

[Kim Braithwaite]

I have been informed that last week's "posting" that I responded to in my own posting yesterday (Aug 3), regarding the benefits or drawbacks of using the Dragon voice recognition system for dictation, did not in fact appear in seelangs but in a different online language-and-translation-oriented subscription venue.

No harm done, I suppose.

What's gratifying is that as a result, one seelangs subscriber has emailed me directly to share Dragon experiences (negative). I don't use Dragon myself and don't foresee doing so - I dictate translation on tape for a typist to transcribe. Works great, boosts output, physically much more comfortable than inputting the material myself (no carpal tunnel woes).

That said, I would like to hear from any other translators among seelangs subscribers who dictate their work, Dragon or otherwise. It's always useful and fun to compare notes.
