A very fine concern that one is too. :) If you can persuade your lecturers to wear a unidirectional active noise cancelling microphone and speak their words clearly and with a very brief pause between every word then you might be in with a chance to get voice recognition working. If you get that far you might try to persuade your lecturers to spend the hours necessary to give your voice recognition software a good sample of their speech so as to create a personalised voice model. (I don't know about "Simply Speaking", I use IBM's VoiceType). /**********************************/ /* Neil Mclean */ /* Canberra Australia */ /**********************************/
