Will this program let me record lectures and then transcribe them? Or does the audio have to be in my voice?

If the microphone is close enough to the speaker, it doesn't matter whose voice it is. The speech recognition programs on newer versions of windows is at least as good as Dragon, in my opinion.

Truly sorry, I am not that advanced in tech. All you can do is try it before you start transcribing. Good luck.

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.

This is exactly what you would want. You may want to download a program similar to Audacity from the internet though.

Yes, though I doubt it will be high-quality. It works great on my class lectures. Check for copyrights first, and watch out for the battery life of the recorder, then go wild.

You can record, change the sounds, save the file, and use your sound editor to input the changed sound file. I have never used this as an add-on to an existing program.

I think it would work fine, I use it for taping lectures and it works fine. I think it will work fine for what you want to use it for.I am very pleased with it.Fred

this one does not. I use it with Dragon, premium edition, and it works perfectly for auto transcription. there are some that come bundled with software, but not this one. The files are MP3s so if you want to manually transcribe, you can play them on any device

Depends upon the speaker. I used this for two interviews. The first was in a room with the recorder on a nearby table. The second was a phone interview with the phone set to speakerphone. In both cases the pickup was better than expected and it seemed to hear as well as I could. If you can hear the lecture well enough, I suspect it will do fine.

I only used it with windows and was not impressed. I bought it to record law school lectures but the mic on my Surface Pro and speech to text in onenote was a much better (and free) solution

I used it for an online interpreter session where I had to record my verbal interpretations. I only used it for one class....but the instructor said the quality was good for the purposes of the class.

Yes. According to the directions I downloaded in PDF format for this recorder, there is a "voice activated" mode. There is also a way to set how loud a sound has to be to trigger the recorder to begin recording.

Yes you can, and if I recall you can save folders of different recordings. The instructions are horrible and I no longer use it, but if it only came with decent instructions it would be great. I think I finally googled directions on how to program different tasks.

Yes. You will need to digital signal decoder. A really good free program is Digital Speech Decoder Plus (DSD+ or DSD Plus). Only thing you can not do is decode digital signals that are being encrypted.

it works really well in a classroom. record the lecture and review it when you are studying.

Read the reviews ofr Belkin TuneTalk. Was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative recorder that works well with lectures and has a long battery life, for reasonable student price?
