[Air-l] transcribing digital interviews

[Dean Rehberger]

 A process that we use (found also used by BBC in recent visit) is to listen
to file and speak into recognition software.  This can be highly accurate if
trained well on one voice (particularly  male voice).  

Also pick up a copy (free) of Transcriber
(http://www.etca.fr/CTA/gip/Projets/Transcriber/)  -- a good tool for
transcribing since it gives you fine control over audio and links to
transcript.  Final product is xml so you can spit it out to do many things.
