The Aristotle System can replace most text -based -computer-input and files, with direct voice recording input, audio format, and compression storage. Rather than text files Aristotle makes and uses audio files. Aristotle records voice dictation, It is not a voice recognition, command and control, application. Although Aristotle recording requires minimum keyboard input, transcription transfer of audio to text files still requires manual keyboard typing. Transforms your computer into a searchable audio recording data system.
