| Summary: | The study outlined in this paper addresses the question: Does the use of speech recognition software allow a faster transcription of interview and audio recordings than traditional modes of transcription? Under similar conditions, 20 people made a transcript using a traditional method of transcription and then using Speech Recognition Software the same transcript.
