![]() Instead of doing only one voice training session for DD3 to get used to my voice, I did all four of them. My interest in uncompressed audio files for use on DD3 skyrocketed yesterday when I received DD3 and installed it. See the topic "Re: Current status of speech to text?". ![]() Another thread documents my travails in that effort. I've had a lot of excellent service from Sony recorders, but now I need a Mac-compatible file for DD3. That's why I looked and finally found a Sony recorder that apparently produces a Mac-compatible uncompressed audio file. Sony software on Windows will convert my current Sony recorder's files to MP3, but I can't use them on DD3 for the Mac. Are they trying to protect DNSv12? I don't know. Dragon Dictate 3 for the Mac will not accept MP3 files! It's as though they are trying to maintain a distance between Windows and Mac, but I'm not sure of the reason. That's right and I would have tried it, but there is a small detail that bugs me to this day. Given my past experience, I'm reasonably optimistic about the file transfer, but we'll never know for sure about the electronic transcription until we try it. It will probably be the end of the week before all the pieces arrive so I can try DragonDictate 3, but I definitely will let you know when I have some results to report. Rather than repeat that here, you can just look at it there. There's a thread here ("Re: Current status of speech to text?") that describes my disillusioning experience trying to use DNSv12 on Windows7 running on VMware to electronically transcribe speech to text in a Windows environment. ![]() Sony software on Windows7 will play it back so I can manually transcribe it to a document on my computer. After the recording is finished, I plug in a USB cord and move a copy of the file from the Sony recorder to a folder on Windows7. That's what I do now using Sony recorders and Sony software to play back my speech on my computer. Instead of artwork, the Music app shows the name of the album.Moving an audio file from the recorder to the computer is something with which I'm very familiar. This happened to me recently, on both my iPhone and iPod touch, and I took a screenshot on my iPhone to show what it looks like (see below). Q: I have album artwork for all of my music files, and every now and then the artwork disappears on my iPhone or iPad. It could work well with spoken-word recordings, but if you have very noisy music, a lot of the music gets removed along with the noise. The problem with the latter feature is that if there’s a lot of noise, SoundSoap makes the music sound thin. This feature can “learn” the type of noise in your recordings, and eliminate it. If your LPs are in fairly good shape, the Remove Click & Crackle feature might be sufficient, but if you are digitizing very old recordings that have lots of noise, the Noise Reduction feature can be useful. The second, the “Noise Reduction” feature gets rid of hiss and static. The first is the “Remove Click & Crackle” feature, which gets rid of the most egregious sounds that arise from damaged LPs. SoundSoap offers two methods of noise reduction. SoundSoap claims to “Clean unwanted room noise, hiss, electrical hum, rumble, clicks, crackles, pops, and other background noises,” and, in my tests, it does a fairly good job of this, but only on recordings without too much noise. SoundSoap can remove a lot of noise from digitized LPs, if your recordings aren’t in poor condition.
