The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I am inadvertently becoming something of a local history buff. In doing research for metal detecting, I have come across so much interesting information in everything from old Newspapers that stopped print in the 1800's to Microfiche to old Diaries and personal correspondence.
My problem is that much of it is difficult to read and nearly all of it is hard to keep track of. In many cases, I can't take the source material with me.
I would like to be able to take a laptop and microphone with me to record all of this stuff, but I don't know which software would be the best/easiest to use. Or even if it's feasible to do so.

The believe the best voice-to-text software is still Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It's been years since I've used it, however, so I can't vouch for how well it works these days. Looks like Dragon costs $100 normally, but I see it on Amazon for $50 right now.

thanks!
Keep in mind that it does take it many hours of talking before it can do it's thing reliably; it has to learn your voice.
