Use iTunes as a dictaphone.

Overview

Dictare is an iTunes plugin which allows control of iTunes playback via a foot pedal (or the keyboard), no matter which application is active so that you can control iTunes playback while typing in a word processing document, for example. (NB: For use with a foot pedal, the pedal must come with software for configuring keypress(es) that it can trigger).

The principal use of Dictare is to enable the use of iTunes as a dictophone. Once your audio is available in iTunes, you can then control playback the same as you would with any other dictophone. To get your audio into iTunes, you can use a variety of recordable digital audio devices, such as an iPod with a microphone, or any other recordable MP3 player which iTunes can read (or import) audio from.

I am legally blind and it is much faster for me to read to myself and take dictation, then to stop, pick up the copy, locate where I am and type. This program is EXACTLY as they say. It turns iTunes into a dictating device, either with key commands you set up, or a true dictating machine with a foot pedal. This program is very crucial to my work as a webmaster for my church. I'm always having to put up lessons, scriptures and page references. I pray this program never gets broken by a macintosh update.
