    Hi,

    Good day to all. I'm just new here and badly need help. Does anybody here knows any software or service where I can transcribe my audio files into text? I have tons of it in different formats and I have no time listening to all of it and transcribe it into words. I'm willing to spend a few bucks for it but better if it will be free.

    Thanks,
    Allan

    If you use software, you'll have to manually check the results. And then correct it. And then check for any mistakes that you've made. etc...
    There are plenty of typists out there that can do transcription at a very good rate. Employ a human and get the job done properly.

    Just out of interest, what are these audio files? Your memoirs?

    I believe it can be done on voicebase: http://www.voicebase.com/
    I've done it there before.

    hire the human not to buy software because in software it will be converted but some of the word may not be clearly correct .even though if you use you should check each and every sentence for mistake.it is better to hire or give piece work for employs

    I suggest that you should go with the audio transcription service rather than software. You will get more advantage with the human transcriber and the results will be accurate. I've used ScribeOn to converts my audio files into text for an affordable price and I am very satisfied with the outcome. Their transcribers are 100% USA natives. You should try their service. - http://scribeon.com/
