Thanks so much for your helpful recommendation to use Otter! I was wondering if you have any recommendations for apps or programs transcribing (doesn't have to be perfect) already existing digital audio files (I converted taped family interviews from the 1970s to digital files). Would Otter work for that too? It wasn't clear from their website if it would.
Otter will work for that! I've used it to do the same thing. I've done it both playing the source from a tape and using a digitized source running on the same device as Otter. Both had slightly more mistakes than live transcription but still very usable.
If you would like to support the Ukrainian refugee crisis, please consider HIAS, a Jewish refugee organization, well established in the Ukraine, with a great track record helping refugees. I want to emphasize that, while it is a Jewish organization, it does not just support Jewish refugees. This blog was set up to reach out to family united in its history of ancestors who fled Russia to escape persecution. How fitting that it be used to support a new wave of refugees.
