Nick,
This works as well as the transcription software will accurately recognize
your voice. In both C-I-SAID and CTANKS once you've copied the audio file
onto disk you can then play it back in (say) C-I-SAID and repeat the
speech into to Via Voice(the only one I've tried) which will then type the
text into the C-I-SAID window where the text and the sound can be linked.
Regards
Alan
