Digital voice recorders for oral history interviews




Is anyone using or exploring the use of digital voice recorders for oral history interviews? 
 
Explanation:  There are now digital voice recorders that incorporate 'Dragon' voice-to-print software for under $250.00.  You can download the OH interview to the computer -- you have both the digital voice, and you can save-to-print using a word processing program such as Microsoft word so that also gain a written transcript as well.   I suspect it would need editing/ perhaps heavy editing, but you would not have to pay a transcriber....or use your limited time to perform that initial transcribing task.
