Odd this should come up. I've just been trying to transcribe a dictation using OOo for the text and audacity for sound. It's a pretty ghastly setup to use; not helped by my rotten typing skills :- ) I find myself longing for one of those secretarial devices with a foot switch for starting and stopping a tape while keeping both hands on the keyboard. And wondering if something akin to this might be a useful adjunct to OOo - boss dictates onto MP3 device or whatever, OOo provides secretary with audio play/pause facility as (s)he types. Any mileage??
