Hola,

I have a faculty member hunting for a solution to transcribe a number of 
hours of Spanish language interviews that are currently in digital video 
format.  The voice recognition software I am familiar with (Dragon 
Naturally Speaking, NCH Sound) might almost apply with some tweaking, 
but I wonder whether anyone out there has any experience with 
applications specifically for this purpose. 

In practice, I generally assign a fluent or near-fluent student intern 
to these transcription tasks, and am not aware of any sufficient 
automated solutions. 

Anyone?

many thanks!
Ellen
