INQSCRIBE FREE FOR MAC

The tutorial, for me, took several sittings. I opened Dragon Dictate when it arrived, downloaded it from a disc, and realized that the program came in a box because it also includes a headphone that works with the program. If you choose to do so, the cost is $99, and with a short wait-period for an educator discount code, $69 ($39 for students). When the 14-day free trial is up, the program doesn’t go away.

One of the features I like most is a shortcut key that inserts a time in the transcript from the audio file in case I ever want to re-listen without having to search. InqScribe has an intuitive environment and takes only a few minutes to learn. I had every single interview transcribed and the story written by the time the other software arrived. There’s a 14-day free trial (which I took advantage of), and I began using it immediately.

INQSCRIBE FREE FOR MAC

In my impatience waiting for Dragon Dictate for Mac to arrive, I discovered InqScribe. It wasn’t until after I made the purchase that I understood the program would take up to 10 days to arrive. The speech recognition software version I purchased cost $169, took several minutes to figure out from the company’s website, and several more minutes to go from a sales chat to a customer service phone call where I actually spoke the numbers of my credit card. So, upon returning from the Journalism Education Association (JEA) Boston conference in November with fresh interviews of students and advisers about blogging, I was faced with reviewing hours of audio files.ĭragon Dictate came immediately to mind, and I’d always wanted to try it. When I want to get something done, I can be a little impulsive.

I won’t pretend to be an expert in this area, but I will be glad to share my recent experience with two dictation/transcription software programs I tried.
