on 1/6/2009 Most programs will allow you to work before you purchase the program required. Many will also refund the software upon completion of a year of work. Tigerfish as with others will change the way of doing things depending on the need of the company.

on 1/6/2009 I looked at Tigerfish. The software they want you to buy is over $200. Don't know if that's typical of transcription services, but no one seems to mention that as an up front cost.
