I am about to launch a research project involving taped interviews. The interviews will have to be transcribed. I'm wondering if any of you have recommendations for recorders, preferably handheld. The last time I did this I used a tape recorder and I'm just guessing the technology has advanced since then (fifteen years ago). I use an iBook G4 and it would need to be compatible...

Also, any thoughts on "speech to text" software? Would this actually transcribe the interviews for me?

Any feedback, even links to where I should be looking, would be much appreciated!
