User Testimonials
	Express Scribe	Speechpad
Likelihood to Recommend	NCH Software It has a free trial, which is very nice if someone just needs temporary access to use, and it's not an expensive program overall. It may not be the most robust program available, but it gets the job done at a good price point. It might not be the best if you need something that allows transcriptionists to collaborate (i.e., working on the same file at the same time).

Pros	NCH Software Cost efficient - This is a fairly low-cost transcription software that can be downloaded quickly via web Easy to use - New users can get the hang of this software pretty quickly Customizable - Foot pedal controls and other preferences can be set based on what feels intuitive to the user Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Speechpad No answers on this topic
Cons	NCH Software Interface - The look and feel of the software is quite dated and could use a refresh Enhancing audio - When we need to manipulate an audio file to try to enhance it (amplifying, for example), we have to use another program to do so Hotkeys - Setting up hotkeys may not be as intuitive for new users as would be ideal Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Speechpad No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	NCH Software Very few 'inaudibles' (spots where we're unable to decipher what was said) Transcribing allows analysts to read scripts rather than listen to audio files, which saves time and money Low cost of software Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Speechpad No answers on this topic
