Dragon Naturally Speaking: Does it work with delays when the program is "listening" to me speak?

Why are you recording a recording? Usually when you record a class you just play back the tapes without re recording the whole lecture. Normally when I record a class I use my Sony tape recorder, not digital, and I label all the tapes I record. In this way I can select which lectures I want to listen to again. It seems you are doing double work.

Interesting question... If it is your voice that has been trained on Dragon and it's your voice on the old audio tapes, I would think yes! If not, you could try it; as my daughter picked up my headset once and her voice transcribed pretty well without being trained. You may want to call : 1-888-831-0088 ask for Mike

I bought my Grand Karaoke last December and during one of the Christmas parties i bought it along to a friend's house. It is working well with my system at home ( tv and home theatre) but at my friends house, there was a delay in the voice from the mic, we tried to find the reason (plugged to different HDMI slot, etc) but it did not correct..but we carried on and had a wonderful party.

Not natively, but it comes with a USB adapter that has a microphone mute button with an LED so you know when it's on or off. If you're using a higher end sound card I would stay away from USB adapters tho. Almost all VoIP programs have a push-to-talk feature, even Skype can be set to push-to-talk under the advanced settings in the hotkeys column.

Pretty well, all things considered. I sometimes use a delay box, sometimes not. I would probably replace it with the same if I somehow lost it.

I've not had this problem, but sometimes the on screen keyboard will not respond, not really a delay because it just won't work. It will make the sound but not print the letter or number.

I have not tried either, yet I believe it works as a general mike. Since I use it for a vocal disability, it should work fine, yet I am unable to use it on Skype, Rosseta, Dragon, or other Application Programs, but only because my disability.

I just found your post while asking this same question. I've also found an answer. There's a computer program called Dragon Naturally Speaking that will do this. The basic software, Dragon 9 or 10, is about $60 on Amazon.com. B. Lueders

Dragon Assistant is more accurate and fun than than the native Win 8.1 speech recognition software but the version I was using when I uninstalled it would only take about one sentence at a time and had to be restarted after every sentence so it was only usable for texting. The native Win 8.1 Speech recognition software is in my opinion still a bare bones Beta product, so I will be purchasing Dragon 12.5. I hope Nuance finally delivers on the promise, this'll be the third or fourth purchase of a dragon product. Anybody want a free copy of Dragon 10 that was never satisfactory?

Hello, Yes, I suggest you ensure you have a voice recorder with noice canceling capability. I used a recorder without that feature and the quality of recording was very difficult. I highly recommend this little device. Good Luck!

I have not tried it with any of the Dragon's voice dictation products myself. I would strongly suggest going to a store having a look or checking with someone who has tried it. What I do know is that some of these devices can be very particular about co-operating with other devices. I've struggled with a few of them already, and I also currently having intermittent timeouts on this one with Cisco IP Communicator Softphone software.

Dictation software is available on the Mac. Although I haven't looked at it in a while and it may have changed with the last update, the Mac dictation is far more limited and is more appropriate for a sentence or two or quick commands. Unless it has radically changed, it is not as accurate as Dragon, once you have set up and implemented Dragon. It is good for a quick sentence here or there but isn't yet set up for dictating long text documents the way that Dragon is. I agree it would be much better to have all this at your fingertips within the OS itself (and I'd even be willing to pay for an add on). Dragon definitely could use some competition in this market and Apple clearly has the ability to do this, as does Google. Sadly, neither company has released anything that can compete directly with Dragon. Dragon's software definitely works, but whether you are using it in Windows or OS X, it is definitely quirky and never completely integrates with the host OS. Having the most mature and viable product and pretty much the ONLY product for individual use, has allowed Dragon to charge higher prices, give so-so customer support to retail consumers, and continue to put a product that never quite meshes completely with the host OS (although it remains highly useful and is gobs faster than typing). It is only a matter of time, though, and this is a field where some healthy competition would be a good thing.

I couldn't get it to work either. I should have sent it back. I finally got Skype to work using the head set/mic from my Dragon Speaking program.

I have not used the delay timer yet, so I am sorry I cannot be of help on this one.

Haven't noticed any delay issues, it works great for me! Just make sure both components are charged. I use it while on the treadmill.

Yes. I rarely use voice activation, because there's always a syllable missed as it activates. I don't think I've ever seen a recorder that only worked via voice activation.

Yes, I use Mac Yosmite and Dragon Dictate works fine at times. At other times its temperamental. It crashes and re-launches a few seconds later. Thankfully you don't lose much work. overall, its manageable but takes a few seconds extra. I have not been able to work this out though!
