This exciting software (which uses a familiar foot pedal) totally enhances, heightens and expands the capabilities of Dragon NaturallySpeaking for:

1.  An author.
2.  A transcriptionist.
3.  A dictation or transcription manager, or anyone involved in getting dictation:

a.  dictated anywhere, easier, faster.
b.  on virtually any digital device, while at the same time having what was dictated.
c.  having it transcribed (keyboarded) and proofed in a quicker, simpler and easier manner. 

Transcription Aid is the first “smart” software that enhances and expands the full and complete advantages of NaturallySpeaking’s dictation and automatic transcription capabilities.

• It encourages its users (authors) to dictate into virtually any digital device (i.e. a digital recorder, a PDA, a MP3 with voice recording, a telephone into "our" network, a Windows Smartphone or even NaturallySpeaking, or Transcription Aid)  - from virtually anywhere; home, the office next door, the airport telephone into your office's network, from overseas to your network, you digital recorder while on the go..., across town, out of town, etc. -  and then, when done dictating, encourages the author to "delegate" or “hand off” this dictation a transcriptionist or assistant.   

• The transcriptionist or assistant, using Transcription AID™ (along with Dragon NaturallySpeaking) takes the digital dictation and formats it so that  NaturallySpeaking is able to work with it and automatically transcribe the dictation into the Transcription AID screen. 

• Once automatically transcribed (keyboarded), proofing and correcting with Transcription AID™ is a very simple and easy step – very similar to that of a transcriber and foot pedal - providing full and simultaneous transcription control of the proofing and correcting process at all times - reassuring to the transcriptionist.   The Dragon's internal transcription log, though capable, is limited and not as easy or comfortable to use as compared to Transcription AID™.

Easier on the front end for the author: you pick your preferred recording digital device – or that which is at hand!  When completed - “hand off” the dictation to your transcriptionist or assistant.  As an author you are now done with this piece of the pie. 

Easier on the transcription or keyboarding side: it is now a more familiar process, familiar foot pedal controls (you control forward, reverse, multiple speed controls, word playback, even playback in reverse if needed) using Transcription AID with Dragon – simultaneous playback and proof.  If a misrecognition is detected – make the correction using Dragon or Transcription AID and the author's voice files are automatically updated – MP3 recorder used or not – Smartphone used or not - the whole document process - faster, easier, more comfortable and more familiar – and less expensive.

That's why we said at the beginning, “Transcription AID™ is the most exciting software product that enhances and expands the full and entire capabilities of Dragon NaturallySpeaking™ since continuous speech was announcement in 1996."
