Re: Transcribing audio (wav) interviews to text - how?
Depending on what part of the country you're in, a Craigslist ad offering $10/hr has netted me some pretty good transcription before. A raise to $15/hr keeps them coming back. Couple hundred bucks can get you a LOT of transcription.

Re: Transcribing audio (wav) interviews to text - how?
i heard an anecdote about an early speech recognition system where the person said "recognize speech" into the mic, and the system -- after chugging on it for a while -- decoded it onto the screen as "wreck a nice beach".

Re: Transcribing audio (wav) interviews to text - how?
I'm wondering if any of that is voice recognition per se. I think the most popular captioning technologies for live captioning are: (a) stenography (which involves using a lot of short cuts, which sometimes produce the amusing results); and (b) "respeaking" (where the captioner repeats what's said in a more computer-friendly way).

Transcriptions for court proceedings here are back in the judges' hands overnight. Not sure what sort of system is now commonly employed, but I've seen controlling the forwards and backwards of the audio with foot pedals. There's also specialist captioning software ("Swift" and "ISIS", amongst others) that makes it easy to start/stop/rewind/fast forward from the keyboard, time the captions in and out according to timecode, adjust colour, positioning and line breaks, and keep track of reading speed limitations. |

They also make software to sync the transcript to the video. Otherwise you would have to listen to the video to make the edits.
I also agree a human transcriptionist is the way to go but sounds like the OP is doing this on the cheap. |
