[QUOTE="Hedgehog182, post: 2550278, member: 43552"] I use Google Transcribe all the time. It gets me through classes and lectures. It work very well, too, since Google acquired Dragon's Naturally-Speaking servers. What's going to kill the effectiveness are any bottlenecks! I fast-enough and stable WiFi connection is essential. I use a "retired" AZUS phone with no SIM chip installed, but with the WiFi turned on. Works great and save my phone charge. I had a small plug-in mic, kind of high-end ($50), that worked well, but now that we are all home-bound, the phone's mic is fine, and I just lean the phone on the screen near the speakers and it works fine. When I go mobile, the tiny boom mic is a Videomic ME, by Rode (image a slash in the "o"). 3rd one was a charm for various ones I tried. So I get a 4 out fo 5 stars clarity with the service, provided the bottlenecks are removed. BTW: It works just as well as AVA. AVA costs are better now, but it's still too much on a fixed income. Good luck ! :thumb: [/QUOTE]
