An increasing number of people make audio recordings...
lectures;
presentations;
speeches;
radio broadcasts;
vidcasts;
forums;
video conferences;
skype calls;
assessments;
interviews; and so on.
Somebody is then often tasked to transcribe it. Why? Well by converting the audio into text files, the audio can be made searchable on the web, making it easier for others to find.
VoiceBase is a web service that lets audio producers perform this task with greater ease.
