Hi Mark,

I've personally found that Express Scribe <http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/> is
a great piece of software for transcribing from WAVs or MP3s (and it's
free!). I worked with the function keys and it's quite usable but I know you
can either hook it up to some custom pedals or some standard PC game pedals.

Interestingly, it does offer some capactity for speech to text conversion
(using Dragon etc) but I've never tested it and suspect it's not going to be
100% even for 'trained' voices.

Hope that helps,

Paul
