Somebody just wrote to ask if I know of "an application or combination of hardware and software that will take a narration file and create a written transcript". I have no idea whatsoever (although I think they used to call them stenographers).

Anybody ever hear of such a thing?

I don't have any personal experience with them, but the Dragon software usually get high marks in general.

I don't know about the others, but Dragon Naturally Speaking needs to be 'trained' to your voice. And 99% accurate can still be a real pain to edit.

The training for Dragon is really quite easy. It involves you reading a passage. There are on going trainings to tighten things but for the most part Dragon 9.5 works great!

Unfortunately Dragon is windows only, any suggestions on Mac software?

It's powered by Dragon, so it is as good or better. Only takes 5 minutes of training, pretty impressive. I setup the previous version of software for a client, iListen, and it worked pretty well.

The challenging part is working with material read by someone else that you aren't able to get to train the system.
