sturge 1 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 is there anyone keeping a daily update of activities by dictating ongoing notes throughout the day on both PC and Android phone? I'm wondering if it's possible to use a wireless Bluetooth headset at is interchangeable between both the PC and the device Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 10,782 Posted January 11, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hi - in my (admittedly limited) experience of bluetooth headsets, they get rather confused when confronted by two devices with which they are paired. Unless you can switch bluetooth off in the device you're not using, getting the headset to work at all might be an issue... As to dictating, that's fine for short notes - and on my Android speech-to-text works rather well. But for creating new notes, tagging and a variety of other options I'd imagine you'd need to do this effectively, the voice-only option might be impractical. Wired headsets are pretty cheap these days - I'd suggest acquiring one of those to try out exactly what you want to do to see whether it will work effectively. If a cheap headphone test works, then you can look into some of the more expensive headsets and choose between the many in / on and over - ear options available. Link to comment
sturge 1 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks gazumped, I was thinking along the same lines. The best way to figure this out it is to get a Bluetooth headset and start experimenting. Seems obvious for the device, just not sure how to record voice to text on the PC. Preciate your help.

Level 5* gazumped 10,782 Posted January 11, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted January 11, 2015 Dragon Naturally Speaking is the usual suspect in that sort of use case, but I did see that the new MSOffice 2013 includes that feature in Word. No experience whatsoever with either recently, though I do recall that going through the 'training' process with Dragon took some time before it could get to grips with my accent and verbal shorthand. Things might've improved some since then... Link to comment
sturge 1 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 interesting, I just purchased office 2013. I'll do some checking around in Word, that might be the answer. Thanks again Link to comment
