I am dictating this using NaturallySpeaking 9, but I had assumed that my high accuracy was due to the fact that I had trained the software myself. Anecdotally, I have noticed that when I demonstrate the software to other people, they often achieve a fairly impressive level of accuracy with out having trained the machine at all. How do you identify the speaker to Dragon Naturally Speaking when you do one of these interviews? Do you simply let it and assume that it is listening to you? I would like to hear more.

I tend to recommend the Olympus Pro range of recorders such as the DS-4000 and DS-5000. Typically most users get around 90%-95% accuracy with these devices as long as they are good speakers.
