Hello, I would like to use Voice recognition in Trados. I own the 2021 version and this function is not integrated. I've searched through previous post but they are too old (several years back). I woul need some updates, does Studio 2024 or 2024 has this functionality? (I've also read about Dragon via Nora Diaz's post). Thank you
Hello,
Voice recognition is not natively integrated into Trados Studio, including the 2021, 2022, or 2024 versions. However, you can use third-party voice recognition software, such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking, to dictate translations directly into Trados Studio. Here's how you can proceed:
### Step 1: Install Dragon NaturallySpeaking
- Ensure you have the latest version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking installed on your system. Version 13 or later is recommended for better compatibility with modern operating systems like Windows 11.
### Step 2: Configure Dragon NaturallySpeaking
- Open Dragon NaturallySpeaking and navigate to the settings or preferences menu.
- Enable the option to work with other software or dictate into non-standard applications. This ensures smooth interaction with Trados Studio.
### Step 3: Run Both Programs as Administrator
- To avoid compatibility issues, run both Trados Studio and Dragon NaturallySpeaking as an administrator. Right-click on their respective icons and select "Run as Administrator."
### Step 4: Test Dictation in Trados Studio
- Open a translation project in Trados Studio and place your cursor in the target segment.
- Use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to dictate your translation. The text should appear in the target
Translate
