I'm thinking of offering transcription services, and I've downloaded and worked with Express Scribe a bit - and I like it a lot! I haven't really looked into equipment because I may only offer to do it digitally.

For what its worth - I have a full-time job working for a doctor. I don't do his transcription, but the office has switched over from micro cassettes to a digital system. My hunch is more business are switching over, although I'm sure there are still plenty using cassettes. Hopefully someone else can give you more information.

Good luck!
