Transcribing CDA files

[TinaC]

I have been asked to transcribe a Pastor's sermons into MS Word. They came to me on a CD in .cda file format. Can I use your software to do the transcribing into Word?

 

Do I need a SAPI speech recognition software program? Do I need to convert the .cda files before transcribing in your software? Do I need the foot pedals to transcribe these?

 

Thanks so much for your help!

You can use Express Scribe to load and transcribe the audio files. Simply use File -> Load Audio CD Track(s). Foot pedals do help with transcriptions as the free up your hands for typing! You can find some pedals here: www.altoedge.com/pedals.

 

Speech recognition isn't reliable enough yet for a 100% successful transcription.
