Although I have never used this, I believe the Olympus Recorder has a
special setup  with Dragon Naturally Speaking so that files from the Olympus
can be converted to text in the way you describe. 

I seem to remember that you had to pay for an upgrade to the DS Player
software which comes with the Olympus for this to be completely seamless. In
theory though any speech recognition software should be able to perform with
a recorded as opposed to a microphone input.

It might be worth checking out with your Olympus suppliers.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] sound file to text converters

Hi All,

I am running XP/Office 2002 Home & Jaws 10 latest.  What I am looking for is

a program that will convert sound files into text.  What I've done is 
download sound files from my Olympus Digital Recorder.  These sound files 
are in .WMA format, if that makes a difference.  Can anyone recommend such a

program?  All advice and information will be greatly appreciated.  Take 
care.

Mike
