    I would say no. It has enough trouble trying to decipher normal speech. Trying to play a recording on top of that will have you editing all over the place.

    Laurencewins,

    I'm not sure what version you tried but its accuracy has improved a lot.This computer I am on right now I built in 2004 and it has version 9 on it.
    I recently used Dragon to type a letter to my congressman and I only had to do a few corrections.
    I actually received Version 11 Home about a year ago but it won't work on this machine. So it is tucked away until I can get a new computer.

    Dave, did you find what you needed to know?
    Most of my friends said depending on the final use it would probably be easier to pay a transcriber to do it for you.For instance if it was an interview then they could also clean it up, delete pauses and dead spots etc etc.

      I did. And somebody else on the payroll is probably the guys best bet...

    Depends...Does the person recorded speak like:

    "Sho' 'nuf y'all...Roll Tide!"?
