Tracy,
Fromm what I understand the Transcription aid is an editing tool that
helps someone do the post porocessing edits to the document to make the
necessary corrections to the transcribed document. I has some good
functionailty built to ease the editing process, similar to the built in
facilities with the Pro version. It does not enhance or improve accuracy
rate.
