Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This software does an excellent job of transcribing recorded speech. It's amazingly fast and accurate. In fact it's much better than Dragon Naturally Speaking for the PC which I've used for over five years.
I'll use Scribe itself to finish the rest of this review. Transcription errors below are followed by the intended, or not transcribed words, in brackets. So here we go...
You need to fully understand what scribe is designed to do and the environment that's {that it's} designed to operate in before you decide if it's right for you. I'll tell you how I use it and maybe that'll help you decide. I have an iPhone and I have a MacBook Pro. I used {use} the voice memos {app} which comes with the it on {iPhone} to record long rambling speeches. When recording I speak into the iPhone the same way I speak normally. I am usually in my office or in a hotel room. Results are always better when there is no background noise.
Hold the microphone in front of your pot {pie} hole and don't slur or run your words together. In short, speak like an adult in an easy concise manner.
Exit voice memos.
Connect your iPhone to your Mac and use iTunes to sync your phone with your computer.
In ITunes, under the music tab, be sure "include voice memos" is checked.
ITunes will copy the voice memo you recorded {to} your hard drive. It will save the voice memo to \music\iTunes\iTunes media\voice memos\ as an M. for a {m4a} audio file, which is a supported file format described {in Scribe}. One {Open} scribe and select transfer it {transcribe}. Navigate to the voice memos folder and select your file. Transcribe it, make corrections as needed and save it or copy and paste it into a document.
The above transcription reflects the software's accuracy right out of of the box. I just installed it this morning. The software gets more accurate as it learns your speech patterns and incorporates your vocabulary into it's database. It's designed to transcribe a single voice speaking clearly, not a room full of people all talking at once.
I'm running Scribe on a MacBook Pro, 2.66 GHz Core i7 processor with 4 GB of RAM, Snow Leopard 10.6.5. and I highly recommend it to people who use it the way it was intended to be used.
