Re: [linux-audio-user] Audio typing

Hi. I know this isn't the kind of thing that generally gets discussed on this list, but it does kind of relate to linux audio. I have an hour or so of taped conversation I need to type up. I was planning to record it to my hard disk so I can do everything from the keyboard. What I'd like to be able to do is set up keyboard shortcuts for rewind / pause etc that I can use without task-switching out of the wordprocessor. If I understand correctly one way of doing this would be to set up a global keyboard shortcut that runs a program that sends a jack_transport message to the audio app. If I had lots of time or a bit more experience I might be inclined to set something like that up for the sake of my education, but I suspect it would end up taking considerably longer than the typing itself! Is there a simpler solution I'm missing? If anyone has any ideas for an efficient audio-typing system I can use on Mandrake 9.2 please let me know. Thanks.
