I'm looking for a service that can take the WAV files that I record on my Digital Audio recorder and transcribe them to text. Is there anything out there that can accomplish this?
I have a service (GotVoice) that will transcribe my voicemails, but I need one for longer files from my DAR (ie a file > 10 minutes).

There are a number of services out there targeted to the medical and legal industries. Google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3A*&q=digital+transcription+service) can help you find some to check prices from.

Thanks for the link to Google. I spent a few hours reviewing scads of these websites this morning, but thought I would ask my fellow FT'ers if they had any experience with any services in particular, especially those that offer an electronic submission (preferably through email) of the files to be transcribed.

FT Travel Tech community: If you have used an online transcription service how satisfied have you been? What were the costs?

I produced a streamed Wireless Technology talk show for two years and sought sources to transcribe the wav/mp3 files.

I found an eastern European and Irish company that did really good jobs on test files sent. it cost around $45. (USD) for an hour of audio as I recall.
I've had a OS crash since then so I cannot send you the specific links but GOOGLE was my friend.
