thinking about transcription services

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

I am looking for a simple to use, cheap voice to e-mail transcription service.
Have tried CastingWords and Jott.
Casting Words has a web only interface. Upload a digital file and ask for a fast turn around or a slow turn around. (expensive and slower). This doesn’t work. I want a phone interface. This is only really for digital recordings from an ipod or tape. People do the transcriptions (probably india). Too expensive.

Jott has a phone interface (good), but limited to 30 seconds (bad).
Too slow. Not very accurate.

still looking
