My elderly mother is now living with us. She can read larger and of course large priint books but here hearing is getting quite bad. I have a lap top with XP and a headset. Any thoughts on my speaking into the head set and letting dragon transcribe it...

Dragon can do this but so can Office and Windows Vista and higher. Just google it if you want to see how.

That's why I bought it, for old talking books like stuff. It did load them to audacity on my computer. We will see if some one will help me get them out!!!

This was for my mother. She Uses the headphone device. It's easier for her.

My Mother actually had me send the phone back. The British accent took some time to get used to.I believe I had to hit memory then a number to get to a specific person. A person with low visionwill need some assisntance setting up the people/numbers they want.

it is actually my mother's phone but from what I have seen there is more of a delay than having to read very quickly, so trying to keep up with it is not a problem. As with TV if someone mumbles or talks very softly the person doing the captioning has a hard time hearing them correctly

I have this and I am legally blind but can see a little up close. I was able to see this when I enlarged fonts. As far as I see...NO AUDIO. I hope I am right. I don't see a way to attach earphones either. WHY DON'T YOU DOWNLOAD A BIBLE ON YOUR CELL PHONE OR COMPUTER OR TABLET??? My 7" tablet has audio KJV on it. I love it. You can listen!But you may enjoy this. Look further & maybe newer ones have audio?

I am writing this using the IBM electronic C-1 1022 600 - one. You can see that it picked up IBM instead of Andrea. You have to be a little careful in the way you speak in order for it to work. This was written on a Dell computer using Windows 8.1. I have had some troubles with it while I'm on the net. Usually I use it with word. As you see it does work, and I can tell you from experience. It is a great joy for me. I use Dragon speak and not the Microsoft voice rec. It is crazy to pay what Dragon speak, costs, but if you're going to need voice rec it's worth it. This was written without any corrections from my keyboard. I am writing this using the IBM electronic C-1 1022 600 - one. You can see that it picked up IBM instead of Andrea.

I just didn't hear enough about the technology to know how well it would work (as you can see, no one besides you responded)--so my husband and I are still stuck in analog-ville. We bought two new cassette recorders at Best Buy (which still carries full-size cassette recorders) and use one for recording and one for transcribing. Clunky and time-consuming but it works. One day we'll switch over...but not quite yet!

Yes the Nuance Dragon Software will actually transcribe for you. It works both live and off recordings. The program has difficulty with scientific or specialized words, and constantly messes up punctuation, but if the choice is between manual transcription and using Dragon you will come out WAY ahead using the software.

Its not that difficult to set it up. You record your own voice. When you play messages back the sound is not that clear. You can definitely hear the persons voice but my elderly mother (87) (who has difficulty hearing) has a hard time understanding the messages.

Depends upon what you mean. I have listened to audio books that I have downloaded from my local library on the Electorhome and they sound just fine. However I did need to copy the files to the player (this is as easy as copying files from one directory to another in windows). The player does not, as far as I know, have built in support for things like Audible like some more expensive players. Also, the player does not have the ability to play books at various speeds - which is a feature I would dearly love to have when listening to audiobooks. That said - for the money you get a very good player for audiobooks. Depends upon what you mean.

I don't use Dragon, but this is a very clear, high quality headset. I think it would work with speech recognition software, no problem.

I have no experience with Dragon or voice recognition software, sorry I can't help you there. I'll try testing it though.

Thanks Kanje, I will keep that in mind. So far the only gripe I have is the lack of volume. If I could do something about that. Might keep ad a work computer only as I got it at a reduced price.

I think so. My hearing is somewhat compromised. So I have the speaker on my ear and raise the volume somewhat My wife can hear it when I am listening, though she can't understand what is being broadcast. She is about 2 feet from the speaker. If your mother was about 6 inches to a foot I think she could understand what is being said.

Sorry, I am unable to respond to your question due to the fact that I no longer have the item in question in my possession. As stated earlier, It was not for myself but for my inlaws. (trying to help with their hearing issues). Hearing loss can be a big issue with the elderly.
