You're welcome, Jackie. I had heard of a voice recognition program over 6 years
ago but can't remember its name. Maybe AOL.
My Headmouse is on loan to me or I wouldn't be able to afford it. It's written
for W95?and?with XP it isn't perfect so I use XP's onscreen keyboard for the
imperfections. When I got a newer computer with?XP I had to have the little
floppy disc w/program copied to a CD.
I can do most meeting prep with the WTLibrary and downloaded everything in
English?from jw.org so far. I've burned all 2008 and 2009 mags on separate
DVDs. Don and I enjoy the dramas from a CD too. The new songs make me
teary-eyed.
I can't get him to learn to?use the computer. He's 'old school' I guess. It's
not that he's not busy enough as my caregiver plus everything else inside and
outside the house. We don't miss meetings too often and use the phone hookup
when we do.
Christian love, Sister Dru

Thank you Dru for the URL there are programs out there that will
transcribe into written text in court there is a steno court stenographer
when a person speaks it is written in word for word in text I know someone
in another area that is a court stenographer - maybe I should give her a
call I don't know how that is done I am wondering if I could get something
like that or I should ask another person from up West in Canada because he
is able to do audio to written transcript I will probably end looking at
the Headmouse they want about $1000.00 in US funds ...Nothing is cheap these
days <G> I want to thank you again for your help I have bookmarked...that
website I record the three day conventions, its about 5 hours a day - one
day and two day and on Sunday the lecture given I record that too I have a
tablet that attaches to the back of the padded chair and set up my laptop
there. I prepare everything ahead ... and can keep up with the rest. I do
have voice recognition programs I find it long and tiring because I have to
repeat what the lecturer says ... Jackie MacWhirter
