I’ve been looking for low-cost software to help with transcription of the dozens of interviews I’ve done for my research; here’s what I’ve found so far.
Easy Scribe is free and available for Mac and Windows computers.
Transcriva is Mac only, free to try, US$29.99 to buy.
Having tried them both, I think I prefer Transcriva; it has a more attractive and easier to use interface, I was able to figure it out and get going quickly, and it has more handy features. I am seriously contemplating forking over the $30 for a license, which is saying a lot, considering how much I love a freeness.
