Hi, Have you considered having the Mac do the work for you? That is, using a few apps like QuickTime, Audio Hi-Jack Pro and Sound Flower. Using the Enhanced Dictation feature built right in to your Mac, it can transcribe the spoken word into text. See this YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCUQPme-f8I If Sound Flower isn't working well with Catalina,I believe that you can use iShowU Audio Capture for the same. https://support.shinywhitebox.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030800592-Install-iShowU-Audio-Capture-Mojave-Catalina After using this process, you would only need to proof the transcription for errors and punctuation. This process may be more complicated than you'd like and may not be of interest to you, but it certainly is much less costly than £292. Later...

I wish for some help from this list, however, I am not sure whether or not anyone can help me. I want to do audio typing for a company in due course, but the files they would send me would be MP3 files I think. As you know, these days, people do not send recorded material on cassette’s. They would send you an MP3 file. What I would need is a foot pedal, where you can pause when somebody is speaking in order for you to type it into a computer. So does anybody know what I should do with regards to a transcriber kit. They do have such things on Amazon, but they would want over £292. I don’t want to spend that type of money as yet, because I am not sure whether or not I would get the job. But it is worth a try to get the job and if I can get the job, then I would want a transcriber Kit. I have jaws and Windows 10 on my laptop, also using macOS Catalina. So anything that works with both things will be good although I would prefer Windows 10 because they would want Word doc files. I have spoken to somebody via email, and they are interested in forming a Braille transcription company etc, but my main thing is getting a Transcriber Kit which is accessible with voice over and Windows 10. I have spoken to various people but I don’t have an answer as yet. I do hope that someone can help me or tell me what I should do. Thank you very much all for your help.
