Hi Rose,
I wonder how many deaf-blind persons use the chat room client and are on Bookshare. One person justifies our efforts here though.

talking, and getting exact quotes. I transcribed a session last summer that
took about an hour and a half of recording time and it took me nearly 6
hours to transcribe it, read through it, make any corrections I needed and
have it ready for presentation. This take into account that I did not have
my own computer to work on and no shorthand program and especially not one
set up for this type of work.  I do medical transcription for a living and
must admit it would have been easier for me if everyone had talked in
medical terms--grin!

I wonder if any voice recognition software could be used to produce a rough draft for a volunteer to use in transcritpion. I realize that someone would
still have to listen to the session to figure out who was talking.
