The chain

1

Get the recording out of Dictation recorders

Olympus/Philips units save DSS/DS2 to internal memory; pull via USB and the vendor's transfer tool or direct file copy. DSS/DS2 needs conversion to WAV/MP3 first — then the dictation transcribes excellently.

2

Transcribe each lecture

Phone recordings from the room work; upload the batch.

3

Study from text

Search every mention of a concept across the whole course; timestamps jump back to the explanation.

What you end up with: The entire course, searchable — revision by lookup instead of relisten.

For professors & lecturers: Each course archives itself as searchable text.
