After reading this thread I'm willing to purchase a Digital Voice 
Recorder and try one of these speech-to-text applications. I did a quick 
search on BestBuy (thinking if they have it then I can pick it up today) 
the only thing I found was several mp3 players that just happen to have 
voice recording. I'm not at all certain of the clarity of these 
recorders. So again I'm asking the collectives advise. I'm looking for 
something ~$100.00 or under that I can record about 3 hours of voice to, 
I'd love to be able to save on my harddrive (so linux has to be able to 
read it) perhaps convert to ogg (though that's not that important). The 
most important thing is the mic has to be *very* good. (I tend to take 
notes while walking). And portability would be the next major feature.

Any ideas?
