The advantage of transcribing in braille on the braillenote and then converting to rtf for those not using braille is that braille writing is very fast for me. I am faster at it than I am at typing and I am a fast typist. I have some knowledge of transcription as I used to conduct a lot a lot of focus groups and ended up transcribing parts of the sessions for my reports.
I know it is time consuming. That is why I said I need people to be patient when I agreed to do some of the work. I still intend to transcribe all or part of Jim's interview. I will speak with those interested in helping.
One thing I will need to know is if there is a way of quickly stopping and starting the recording itself. Also knowing if there is a way of bookmarking the recording will help. Bookmarking might mean I can work on one part and somebody else can work on another part. We can all co-ordinate and co-operate and split up some of the work.
