![]() Even after your dictation, you’ll want to budget some time to make sure homophones like “example” don’t wind up as “egg sample.”įactoring in these corrections, I found parroting with Dragon to be slower than manually typing the transcript. This means you’ll have to watch Dragon’s work for errors, which can disrupt your workflow. As any transcriptionist knows, language is a messy thing. Honestly, many of the errors I encountered felt like my own fault- from stuttering or not clearly annunciating my words.
