Can this be used to transcribe from older (1987) audio tapes to text?. Obviously one cannot 'train' the software. Help please.

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

Depends on ho old. I have used it to convert some old stuff and it worked for me. If I had any problem I use some of the support available for my Linux operating system and the vast catalogue of free software available from non Microsoft places. However, I can remember only two times is the year I had to resort to other software help in converting very old stuff..

Yes, you have to have transcription software, but there is free software and so far all the ones I've used work just fine for mp3 files.

I'm thinking of buying this scanner. I am an oral historian and need a portable scanner to take with me on my interviews. I will be scanning photos, news clippings, all kinds of things. Question: does it really work with Windows 7 64 bit. I have an HP laptop I'm planning to use it with. Current feedback would be great. Thanks!

The Standard Version will not transcribe from a voice recorder only the preferred edition. I just bought a copy of the Preferred edition & a Sony ICD-MX20 voice recorder. They work well together. I'd advise checking the support page at www.nuance.com. The accuracy of many voice recorders is listed.

I am running on 8.1 and use Audacity software for copying cassettes. So far it works fine. The device is simple and plays my cassettes just like a regular player would.

Have you tried it on copyrighted movies? I have a bunch of older exercise tapes that I would like to put on DVDs. Thanks,

If you have the correct connector to your car (older model cars probably won't have a way to do it). I don't see why not. But why would you want to. If you owned this I would suggest you convert the cassette tape and make a CD.

I gave up on the software. The tape player has been good for playing the actual cassette tapes and transferring to a separate digital audio recorder in WAV files, then through the computer and on to mp3.

It doesn't look like this is possible. The user manual shows how to record from one tape to another, from radio to tape, and from phonograph to tape, but not from CD to tape.

In most cases yes, but I have only used a limited group of old movie tapes that were already adapted to a usb input from my video camera equipment. My suggestion is that equipment like this is hard to say universally that it will work on every system, but it pretty basic in its operation as well as inexpensive, and worth a try if this is the application you are seeking.

It probably will Gabe. I see no reason why it wouldn't. You just need to have transcribing software on you computer.

I really have no answer. The only thing I can suggest is that perhaps you punched out the tab so that the tape could not be overwritten by accident. Would it be possible that the program could read this as a copyrightprotection, so it would not process it? In case that is the problem, just put some tape over the "hole" and see if that works. Have you sent a question to the EZ folks? I found them to be helpful, but I was still not able to transfer my 8mm tapes to DVDs.

No, it would not work for that. There would, however, be some other assistive tech software and/or apps for 'text to speech' that would work with text on the computer, though. There are even things that let you scan text with an IPhone or IPod and transfer whole pages to the computer to have the computer read to you. (Those would not be practical for my student's use in her parochial school setting with limited computer availability yet, though, so I have not investigated them further yet.)

Hi Dennis, I haven't tried this myself, but I would guess that this device would struggle to accurately record equations: it will probably mistake Greek characters/mathematical characters for more common letters, although you may be able to select mathematical formula as the OCR language.

I'm on OSX 10.9.1 and it worked perfectly to get old CD's and tapes into .mp3 format. Used Audacity - awesome!! Audacity looks bewildering at first, but is e-a-s-y to use.

Pls dont buy....I've already wasted my investment. I contacted them about the weird transcription, they suggested me to contact software company, then I emailed them, did not get fruitful results. It totally waste of your resources. Better, buy cheap recorder.
