No fancy hardware. For this use case, it's almost flawless. And way faster than typing. The only commands you give are related to the recording -- stop/start/playback-type commands. Not sure how sophisticated it gets beyond that. But the speech-to-text technology is pretty damn good now.
- shadowofneptune 4y agoThe part about it being all software surprised me. All the Dragon workstations I've seen have these remote controls attached: https://www.speechrecsolutions.com/mic_guide_handheld.html https://www.speechrecsolutions.com/mic_guide_handheld.html Turns out they're third party devices. That makes Dragon more impressive than I thought.

- SoftTalker 4y agoMedical dictation probably follows a pretty standardized pattern? Easier for the software to work well when it knows what to expect.
