I want to transcribe some of my pastor's sermons that I can download in MP3 format. I have transcribed with a transcription machine from tape in the past. Does anyone know of any products available to allow me to control the speed through my computer so I can transribe from it?

but Creative Labs' Zen Micro allows you to record audio as audio file, which you could then trans[b]fer[/b] directly to your computer. Once there, options for editing, including playback speed, are about as wide as in a professional recording studio, with a decent sound card & bit of software.

It's the sound speed I want to change. My husband just showed me to press CTRL+SHIFT+S while using Windows Media Player and that does slow it down quite a bit.

I am the IT Manager for a law firm and as you can imagine, we do a fair amount of transcription. We have settled on using the 3-pedal version of the Start Stop UNIVERSAL Transcription System from http://www.startstop.com . This might be overkill for you, but it works very well with all kinds of digital media types.

I have now completed 3 of 5 sermons and feel a pedal woould be more effective so that I would not have to move my hands off the keyboard.

I checked out the website for start-job program; it looks pretty good. I was hoping not to spend that much but if I do any more sermons it will be well worth it.
