USB Problems

 Yesterday, I spent over an hour trying to transfer WAV files from my digital voice recorder to my laptop. After a lot of head-scratching, I eventually realized that it was a problem with the USB cable. Now I can 'drag and drop' WAV and MP3 files from the recorder into a file on the laptop.

My big headache now is trying to find FREE dictation (audio to text) software. If I search for it, I get loads of programs, but they're only free for the first month or so. They then require you to pay for usage and it's not cheap. If you know of any such FREE programs/software, please let me know by emailing me at sloughwriter@gmail.com . Many thanks in anticipation!
