[Athen] Transcription Aid for Dragon

[Wink Harner]

Stacy,

I use both --in the office & the classroom I use Dragon w/Bluetooth for 
both office work & presentation/teaching (and the students LOVE the 
geekiness of my using wireless dictation in the classroom!!), and in 
meetings I use the portable one because I cannot physically take notes. 
I subscribe to the state motto for Missouri --"show me"-- and try stuff 
out before I either buy it or recommend it.

Both work. Depends on what the student needs to be able to do. One is 
not dependent on the other --the only reason I recommended using the one 
packaged with Dragon is that IF you are using Dragon at the desktop, the 
equipment that works best is often the one the software company 
recommends and the voice files are compatible.

Any more questions? Just ask!

Wink
