To do transcription work, the transcriptionist will need to train the
speech recognition software to their own voice. I would recommend that
they then, if possible, use headphones to listen to the tapes and
dictate simultaneously. This will reduce background noise.

I worked in the speech recognition market for two years, so feel free
to e-mail me off-list for recommendations on which package to purchase
or with setup tips.
