Does anybody know of a Radio Transciption Software

I am looking for a transcription software the can transcribe a podcast. Does anybody know of a software that can do this?

You are probably looking for a 'speech to text' solution. This has evolved into three ways on the internet:

1. Buy a software that does it for you (e.g. Dragon Nuance)

2. Use the OS's built in recognition features (haven't had a lot of luck with this)

3. Go with an el-cheapo on line transcription service.

Dragon Naturally Speaking starts around $200 I think for the office version, but you can usually find deals on Amazon for $40-50 for the home versions.

Windows Vista and upward have text recognition, but apparently it's a pain in the butt to get them to work with an audio file (I've read about people setting up their microphone next to their speakers for example). Never done it.

Lastly, there are tonnes of online transcription services out there. Not going to suggest any single one because I've never used any, but they're around. Some fierce SEO going on there too actually, I noticed lots of forum spam and other black hat styled tactics.
