Yes, this is a good approach, and is the way I think I would like to go. We
ended up doing everything at the last minute, and circumstances forced us t=
o
adopt an approach, which would not be my long term way of doing it.

This explains why the company that Aaron suggested is advertising to buy
them.

Yes, I agree with this now, the approach you have outlined is far more
practical. However, a voice activated MD also has possibilities, so we woul=
d
only record sound, rather than the hours of blank tape that we are recordin=
g
now.

The Sonabat software seems to have a facility to search through the
recording and extract the sound parts. At least it seems to do this.

I think that with the new MDs on the way, then this has got to be the way t=
o
go for me now.
Many thanks for your useful comments.
