How to make a transcript using Camtasia and Dragonspeak

• I know that a hot topic right now at our college is to generate transcripts for students who need them, depending on their disabilities.  I just wanted to show everybody how to use Camtasia and to create a transcript with the Dragonspeak the program.
• So I just recorded the lecture.  Now that I have the lecture recorded the next thing I’m going in a do is save the document so that I can edit it.
• I’ll just call this how to make a transcript.  I guess I should spell it right.  Okay, now that I have the documents saved what I’m gonna do is export it as an audio file. 
• I can use this audio file to generate a transcript in Dragonspeak.
• In order to do that go to
• FILE
• and then you
• PRODUCE SPECIAL
• Then you pull down to
• EXPORT
• It’s gonna make up a wave file (.WAV) which will be fine for whatever you’re doing.
• I’m going to call it transcript.wav
• Open Dragonspeak, and to go up to
• TOOLS in the right-hand corner.
• I’m going to
• TRANSCRIBE RECORDING
• You can transcribe into Dragonspeak or DragonPad or you can put it in a window.
• Open up Microsoft Word.
• I’m gonna transcribe it into Word
• Choose the window, which is on here.
• Browse to locate the file. I put mine in my documents folder, I’m using the transcript.wav file that I generated
• Click on transcript.wav
• Choose TRANSCRIBE
• Click on the window in Microsoft Word that you are using.
• Wait for it to generate the transcript.  DO NOT TOUCH THE KEYBOARD OR MOUSE UNTIL IT FINISHES
• I want you notices it’s kind of inaccurate, but it’s also accurate enough for me to edit it and use it
• Save the document.
• It will be less accurate if you slur your words or you are not a very clear speaker. 
• I hope that this helps some of you.
• See you around campus.
