There is a Mac application "ScribeToWord" of which I have a copy but
haven't had call to use, which claims to do the job you ask about.
Have you checked the info-mac archives?

Re #4: the phonetics expert at UCLA is Peter Ladefoged of Linguistics.
He has been doing these things for decades, and is I believe a world
expert, for transcription and much else. Kessler art UCLA

In response to Jim Wilderotter's question about Jewish mysticism, there
are several places to start. One is with various writings of Gershom
Scholem on the Jewish mystical tradition. Another is to go to two
volumes in the series: _World Spirituality: An Encyclopedic History of
the Religious Quest_ where you will find numerous articles by experts on
the Jewish tradition. The titles are _Jewish Spirituality: From the
Bible to the Middle Ages_ and "Jewish Spirituality: From the
Sixteenth-Century Revival to the Present_. Next there are translations
of primary texts in the collection of volumes in _The Classics of
Western Spirituality_ published by Paulist Press (New York). Last, see
interesting books recently by Moshe Idel and Elliot Ginsburg on various
aspects of Jewish mysticism,practice, etc.
I hope this helps.
