Was asked by a lady there who was blessed with a Macintosh eMac (!!!!) if I could program something to help her with
transcribing .AIFF files . . .
I knocked up something pretty basic which probably left her cursing pretty quickly . . . but, then it was free . . .

transcription machines were foot-pedal operated so the transcriber had their hands free for the typewriter.
Presumably (!!!!!!! before I invest !!!!!!!) Livecode can pick up any USB signal as a rawKeyDown signal, and so should pick up signals from the sort of foot pedals that
come with these kits.
