I'd suggest mp3directcut. It is free, works well with speech and you
can set sampling rates and so forth. Only real drawback is it doesn't
have a pause as such, although you can tell it to keep appending the
file which sort of works. I've used it for years to record ball games
and such and you can easily edit out commercials and so forth.

I used Audacity, which is a free download. I think I had a cable from an old
desktop microphone or such that I plugged from my NLS tape recorder into the
microphone jack on my computer, I figured out how to record using Audacity and
did make successful conversions of my husband old tapes he needed. However, my
ignorance on how to use the Audacity features left me with little control over
the size of the mp3 file I created. I'm sure others on this list can help you
figure out where to find those settings. I liked that Audacity was free, but
did not feel like it was fully intuitive over the basic start and stop
recording type functions. I'd definitely want to explore that more if I do any
more such tape to mp3 conversions.

Subject: Re: converting audio cassettes to mp3
well, I like studio recorder, but you'll get many solutions which cost less. :) Reason I
like studio recorder, everything is going to talk properly, including a
"beeping" overload of the viewing monitor meters when you get the volume too
loud.
SR has no noise reduction or equalizing abilities, but . . . it is designed for
making talking books, though it can record in stereo, can adjust for
out-of-balance older recordings from worn out head machines by adjust a single
channel's volume to compensate, and can normalize, adjust for time compression
if you need it, and much else.
It is on the American Printing House web site.

Hello, does anyone know of a speech friendly way to convert audio
cassettes to mp3 files? What hardware and software will I need, and
where can I buy them? Any help is appreciated.
