Interesting. I worked for a company that did retail speech recognition in the late 90s, I should look up how much that cost in comparison to see how the economics are shaking out.

We'd be interested in that cost comparison!

Found something:

* $29.95 to register

* $9.95 per month subscription which entitles you to $14.00 worth of free transcription per month

* $3.50 per page (double-spaced, 225 words) for any pages in excess of your $14 allocation

$14 is four 225 word pages, so, 1-900 words for $0.11 per word, then $1.55 per word. Ish.

Ahh interesting. I like the subscription model from the perspective of the business. Seems like it would prohibit signing up for the low-volume user though, right?
