talking, and getting exact quotes. I transcribed a session last summer thattook about an hour and a half of recording time and it took me nearly 6 hours to transcribe it, read through it, make any corrections I needed andhave it ready for presentation. This take into account that I did not havemy own computer to work on and no shorthand program and especially not one set up for this type of work. I do medical transcription for a living and must admit it would have been easier for me if everyone had talked in medical terms--grin!

I realize that someone wouldstill have to listen to the session to figure out who was talking.
