Descript has been used for many years for transcription of dictations. It is one of the more expensive programs, but its features and applications are well worth the price. The software provides a real-time transcription engine that transcribes your dictation and then converts it to text. The engine is designed to work with Microsoft Word and other word processing programs. It also has other features such as automatic file saving and conversion to text, automatic transcription auto correction and integration with Windows Live Writer, Outlook Express and Lotus Notes.
Like any computer program, Descript is available in both freeware and shareware versions. If you are using Windows, the best option is to go with the shareware version because it will help you avoid the cost of having to purchase the full version of the software. Descript is compatible with almost every Microsoft Windows based computer. If you do not have Windows, it is also compatible with Macintosh computers and Linux computers. If you prefer to work from a Mac or Linux computer, you may want to consider a Mac or Linux version. The free version of the software will not give you all of the features that the full version will provide.
For the best transcription experience with a freeware version, you should try out a tutorial. In the tutorial you will be able to see how to use the various features of the software without having to spend any money on purchasing the full version. The tutorial will show you how to record your dictation, edit and convert it into text, and the application menu. You can also find information about the different language translations available with the program.
