I'm wondering if it would be practical to transcribe manuscript data into a FileMaker Pro file using voice recognition software. I'm hoping it would be possible to say something like:

new record, 15 May 1947, tab, 7.35, tab, blue, tab, 3 hours 22 minutes 7 seconds, new record, 3 June 1947, tab, 10.78, tab, yellow, tab, 1 hour 11 minutes 45 seconds, new record ......

and have the voice-recognition software do all the equivalent keyboard actions to get the data into the FMP file. This seems as though it should be much faster and less effort than typing it myself.

Does anyone have any experience of using any make of voice recognition software with FMP in this way? Anything recommended, or to be avoided? Any gotchas?

I'm using FMP 11 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8.

in friendship
