I apologize, I should have been more clear.  We will be using humans to scan the translated results.  But we are looking for a system to perform the "first pass" on the audio to hopefully help the human type less.

Although the question has been raised if it's faster to have a human just transcribe the whole thing, or fix up what the computer spit out.  If you have any insights on this, that would be great.

Good evening Pete,

The only way to do this is, I'm afraid, to use a human. We use Amazon's
Mechanical Turk to good effect.
