Hey, I have this older Olympus digital voice recorder that
cannot download the audio as a file, sooo, using it for
interview transcriptions is a royal pain.
Then I had a flash of insight! (I get those every 14 months)
Use Garage Band to transcribe! Now I don't know about you,
but I cannot type fast enough to keep up with a conversation,
and this article I am working on is a long interview. A little
voice recorder will sooner or later lose your place and then you
are in hell finding it again, so I dumped the whole thing into
Garage Band (used 4 tracks becuse GB, like a certain other
app we know, does not like 1.5 hour tracks!) and simply used
GB to play back the interview. Worked pretty dang well for
a free app.
Now, if I could just find a transcription app... One that you
can import an audio file into and it will spit out text...
Is there such a thing?
