Hi everybody!
First, MODS if there is already a thread for this subject, by all means send me there (there's 106 pages of Tech threads and I am NOT that patient to sift through them all).
So, I tried using a voice recorder, back when we had to chisel the words onto tiny micro-tapes. I had some success but it just seemed clunky to me. I have not caught up with the latest technology, but thought I may give it a go.
I just did a google search and literally 100's of the little buggers came up! Just a bit overwhelming
Does anyone on AW use this tech with any degree of frequency? What are the beneficial and less than desirable features of these devices?
I know there is voice to text software available (not sure of pricing), but I'm looking for something that I can use while I'm working (I'm a machinist). And maybe there are devices that plug directly into the computer for voice to text? I may not be able to find a good fit anyway, simply because of the noise of the environment I work in, but I would be willing to part with a few dollars to try it out.
Thanks, any input would be greatly appreciated!
