Hi Peter,
the dragon version you mentioned is only for a two person situation,
needs a extremly fast computer and is very expencive (The results are
a bit frustrating). Automatic voice recognition for more then one
person is nearly impossible right now. But there is an interesting
possiblity with dragon naturally speaking 9: A researcher hear his
own interview and speak it into a mic. But is this faster then
transcribing the "normal" way, is it more comfortable, does normal
transcription rules fit for that way? Several different opinions are
mentioned in the mailing lists and boards. But we were very
interested in a good answers on this topic. So we just have started a
small research 4 weeks ago in which we focus on two solutions for
transcribing. We compare 25 persons in transcribing the same material:
1. hand transcribing in Word by using the software f4 and a footswitch
2. by using dragon naturally 9 (hear the interview and speak it into
a mic).
I think that we have the first results in jan07 and will publish it
on audiotranscription.de . We try to find out, which is a comfortable
and fast solution which fits to the needs of researchers
(transcription roules, nonverbal communication etc.).
Best regards
Thorsten
