Transcriping can still lead to mis-quotes, see the recent bruhaha regarding the Kerry mis-quote regarding foriegn leaders supporting him for president. At least with an audio record you can go back and verify what was really said, as was done in the case of the Kerry quote. With no recording it becomes a he said, she said. [img]smile.gif[/img]
