Continuing on this part: My friend says that using any existing speech
recognition software won't work at all well for transcribing interviews
with a variety of people. All such software needs to be "trained" to the
speaker's voice.

A possible alternative is for a designated person to train the software
and re-speak it into the speech recognition software.
