Yes speech recognition is a great thing.  If you have a scanner there is a windows application you can use to scan Braille  and then store it as an electronic file.  I think the file is stored as a Grade Two Braille file so you would have to figure out a way to proofread it and decide how you would want to save the information.  I can't remember the name of the application but I know the National Library Service uses it to make electronic copies of books and Braille music which are deteriorating.  Check out the NLS website and see what you can find.

Thanks,
Dan

Subject: [VICUG-L] 12 pages dictated in 2 hours and 45 minutes, using windows speech recognition!

Hi all,

Well folks, I dictated 12 pages of braille in 2 hours and 45 minutes, just using windows speech recognition, and NVDA, and no dictation bridge software!

My goal is to get rid of all these braille paper notebooks around here, and just have everything digitized.

Narrator is not as good repeating back what I dictate, compared to NVDA.

But I just wanted to tell everyone about my progress dictating, because they have done some nice work with windows speech recognition in windows 10!

I'll be interested to see what the spring update does to improve windows speech recognition!

Harry
