[Athen] voice to text recorders

[Dan Comden]

If someone is doing this now, I'd like to hear how well it works. A unit 
here on campus checked it out about a year ago for lecture transcription 
to the web and the results were not useable. The existing technology still 
seems to rely on a high quality microphone, consistent speaking 
environment, and an experienced speaker in order to have good accuracy.

But -- I'd love to be wrong!
