[Athen] Help w\ Captioning

[Howard Kramer]

Sean, Terry, John, et al,

Thank you for that great feedback. I've been in contact with AST. I'll be
checking out the other resources also. I've tried transcribing one of the
videos myself. I see what a task this is. I remember Dick Banks used to
demonstrate using voice recognition to transcribe a file - not directly from
the original speaker, but by repeating the audio into Dragon Dictate instead
of using the keyboard. Any recommendations on processes/software for doing
the transcribing would be most welcome.

[Sean, on a side note, can you add hkramer.atsol at gmail.com to the listserv.
My emails directly from gmail get bounced back even though it's supposed to
mimic my colorado.edu address.]

Thanks,
Howard
