I have a new MacBook Pro and want to buy a digital voice recorder for in-person and phone interviews (I'm a journalist) and use Express Scribe and an NCH foot pedal to transcribe them. But I don't want the added step of converting the recorder's audio files into something Scribe can recognize. Are there any good digital voice recorders -- that is, portable ones that I can carry around in my pocket -- that create files in a format that the Mac version of Scribe will recognize? I want to buy an Olympus, but they seem to create only DSS and WMA formats, which Scribe won't read. (In fact, even the Swtch converter won't convert them for Macs.) Recommendations?
