I was hoping someone could shed some light on the following
question.
Has anyone heard of a student using a laptop in lectures
with voice recognition software loaded on it as a method of recording
information & turning it into note format ? The idea being that the
voice will be turned into text, cutting out the need for note taking.
One of our students is interested in using this as they say they
know of someone at another institution who is doing this. However we
have approached the manufactures and it appears that the software
available still needs an individual voice file made for each voice
that is recorded. I am concerned about progressing if it is not going
to work, which is my suspicion. Does anyone know of a student using
this set up ? or know if it is viable ?
Any help greatly appreciated.
