I have recently used digital equipment for phone interviews and the
resulting WAV files are then sent to a transcription company which returns
the data as a Word file (turnaround is about 2 days). Alternatively there
are transcription kits for particular types of digital recorders. I bought
the digital recorder from ndeva and they were extremely helpful
(www.ndeva.co.uk). If anyone needs details of the transcription company, I
can give this.
Hope this is helpful,
Judith

Subject: recording equipment
We are currently in the process of updating our audio recording equipment
and
are considering two main options - mini-disk and digital recorders. The
major
factor we are having to consider is transcription. Does anyone on the list
have any advice on what hardware and/or software is needed for transcription
with each of these options and on how well they work? Most of our
transcription is sent out to externally based freelance transcribers so any
equipment and/or software would need to be made available to them too.
