I've been using Transcription Buddy (recommended by somebody on here). It allows you to slow down the recording, put pauses in, step back etc. You can download the software as a free trial.
I've still got a few hours of interviews to transcribe - it does take ages, but, like you, I'm finding the process really helpful for analysis. :-)
Hi, I would say a lot depends on your methodology. With some approaches, like Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, you only need a few interviewees (less than 10 in the case of IPA). Others keep doing interviews until they reach saturation. It also depends on how many participants you manage to recruit! I'm really struggling with this, I'll be very happy if I end up with 10 - but then I am using IPA, so it should be fine. My research is also longitudinal, so I'm doing a number of interviews per participant.
I have used JRIP a lot (it sounds like we work in a simlar subject are :-)) and I'm fairly sure that papers from the early 1990s are not accessible online. I do have access to the journal in the library though. Next time I'm there (next Friday) I'll copy the paper (it's likely to be relevant for me too!), scan it and email it to you, if you're still looking for it.
