I've used Speechpad for transcribing international speeches and I was very pleased with their accuracy, even with heavily accented speech which I think is a good test. It's fairly reasonable. https://www.speechpad.com

Dear colleagues, I will conduct some 20-25 semi-structured interviews with experts, in English, in the coming weeks. My plans are to digitally record these interviews with my iPhone 5S and transcribe the interviews for analysis. Are you aware of suitable software, apps, etc. that can both record the interviews and transcribe them? Siri supposedly can be used as a dictation device, but appears not to be suitable for the dual task of recording plus transcription. Best regards, Detlef -- ________________________________ Detlef F.
