Pros / Cons
  • The program (v 16) transcribed well (even medical terms) and is relatively easy to use once the learning curve and training have been completed.
  • Nine months after purchase I noted that UK English was being used by Dragon instead of American English and I could not get the output text language back to American English.

  • Staff is very helpful for any issues arising.
  • I stopped using it for 5 years when I worked for a company that had it's own software. When I became an independent contractor and tried to use Express Scribe again, it was very expensive, I could not get the trial to even work properly, and the sound quality was TERRIBLE.
