You can also have the transcriptions sent to you in a text message (SMS)or in an e-mail. There are various factors that affect the quality of the transcripts, including the caller’s voice/accent and any background noise that may spoil the clarity of the audio. These interferences can ultimately affect the transcript engine from transcribing your voicemail accurately, and there are many Google Voice flubs to prove it (just search for them online… some of them are pretty funny). When such a case occurs, the error message “Transcript Not Available” is displayed on the respective Google Voice webpage. (Or you get a transcript that might crack you up.)

I have often been interested in possibilities for translation away from the computer. In fact, the possibility of translating my by dictation is one that has a long history and which is of great personal interest to me, because I think that it may be possible to achieve a very different flow and quality from that which is typically achieved when writing on a computer. So, while visiting a friend, I purchased an inexpensive Olympus recording device for about €50, then I trained DNS to use it and began my experiment.
The text above is my first attempt at transcribing from a small, portable recording device to Dragon Naturally Speaking. One small correction (marked). My expectations were not high when I decided to try this. The microphone in my headset is of rather modest quality, and the errors, as noted in my last post, can be devilish.
