The accuracy rate is about 95% after a 15-minute startup training session but you can easily increase that to 98%+ if you continue to train the programme properly.

I was thinking that if I used a speech recognition programme it would make it go a little faster than regular typing. I was looking for Mac software (OS 9) and there isn't very much out there. I basically only found two programmes: iListen and Via Voice. Does anyone have any firsthand experience with either of these programmes? If so, what has been your accuracy rate? Was it worth it to use or more hassle than necessary? Or do you have a better way to get tapes transcribed? thanks, Catherine
