[X4U] OS X Speech capabilities question

[Matt Gregory]

Right, transcription is the process we're trying to make more efficient.
Currently her school provides all the equipment, which consists of a video
camera of some sort. At the end of the interview she walks out with a VHS
tape. Not sure whether she can provide her own equipment or not. The iPod
voice recorder would be nice because this weekend my project is to teach her
how to at least get the audio off the VHS and onto her computer where she
can more easily go through the audio. Currently she's constantly
pausing/rewinding the VCR and trying to listen through the 13" TV speaker
... yikes! I think just a simple audio program and a pair of headphones on
her computer is going to make her life a lot easier. Something that would
autogenerate at least a first cut at text would have been like a godsend to
her. Not giving up on that though. It may not be built into OS X (I'm on
10.4.2 btw) out of the box, but it's obviously able to recognize speech ...
so is it hackable, or AppleScriptable?
