Could be, but do they have software that will play an audio file under 
the control of a foot pedal? Will that software automatically backup a 
second (plus or minus -- adjustable) so that when I stop to type a bit 
and start again it will back up a word or two? That's what the 
combination of Transcribe and Footpedal do.

Modifying Totem was going to be a good choice since it does video as 
well as audio. But since it seems to use the same sound libraries as 
Transcribe I'd still have the same distortion.

By contract I can't play any of the audio recordings while others can 
listen. But maybe I can strip out some of the distortion when no one is 
speaking and bring it with me to the clinic next week. I'm hoping to 
clear my Sunday afternoon schedule so I can attend, since I have another 
issue with the box I need assistance with.

Thanks for the idea, though.
