Digital Voice Recorders

[Laurie Woodfin <lwoodfin@MASSED.NET>]

    A local Special Education grant is available and I am interested in =
applying for a digital voice recorder.  As background, a few months ago =
a special ed. teacher came to me and was looking for something small and =
portable with which a student who can't write very well could take =
outside and record observations.  Ideally, the recorded observations =
could be downloaded into a computer and the computer could "type" them =
out.  It sounds like a digital voice recorder might fit the bill.  I =
know it can record the voice like a cassette, but can it be downloaded =
and changed to word processing text?  Is special software needed?  Does =
it matter that we are a Macintosh school?  Are there websites that do =
reviews? Thanks for any information or advice you can give me and I'll =
be happy to post a "hit" if others have the same question.
