Using Portable Recorders (Preferred and Professional)
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 159
“Resume With” is particularly useful when you are using a recorder. It lets you return to where
you want to go within a recording if you misspeak or change your mind after dictating a phrase. For
more information, see “Going back as you dictate” on page 50.
Later, when you transcribe your recorded dictation, you can choose to make Dragon
NaturallySpeaking ignore all commands except the restricted command set. This
prevents potentially damaging recognition errors (for example, a phrase being
incorrectly interpreted as the command “Delete Previous 5 Paragraphs,” which would
actually delete the previous five paragraphs from your transcription). For more
information on how to do this, see the “The Advanced Settings dialog box” on page
162.
Transcribing recorded dictation
Connecting a recorder to your computer
Before Dragon NaturallySpeaking can transcribe your recorded dictation, you must
connect your recorder (or, in some cases, your recorder’s memory card) to your
computer. Connect your recorder in the same way as you did when you created a
user trained for your recorded speech.
The following procedures describe the different methods you use for transcription,
depending on the type of recorder you are using. Use the method that is appropriate
for your recorder.
Transcribing from a handheld recorder or Pocket PC
Dragon NaturallySpeaking has features specifically adapted to work with the
Dragon NaturallyMobile recorder, Sony
®
IC recorders, Panasonic
®
IC recorders,
Olympus IC recorders, Palm OS devices, and Pocket Pcs. To transfer files from
these recorders, use the following procedure.
To transcribe recorded dictation:
1 Start Dragon NaturallySpeaking. (You don’t need to turn the microphone on.)
2 Open the user adapted (trained) for your recorded speech. (Click Open User
from the NaturallySpeaking menu on the DragonBar, select the user you want,
and click Open.)
3 From the Sound menu on the DragonBar, click Transcribe Recording. (If the
Extras toolbar is displayed, you can click the Transcribe button instead.) What
you see next depends on the type of recorder you have.
