[MOderator's note: Margaret, the Quillsoft/WordQ site is www.wordq.com.
The new product is not listed yet, but I assume an announcement will be
made through that site. I'll try to get an update on things from those
folks and put out more details before the list closes. The Word for Word
project focussed on developing the product itself and doing some formative
evaluation of a prototype version. There is no website for this project.
My Canadian partner, Fraser Shein, and I have made presentations on the
development of the product in the past year at CSUN and Closing the Gap.
Anyway, I'll try to bring everyone up to date before the end of the
month.]

Bob,

How can we get more information about the proposed product you mention:
"The "Word for Word" project itself produced a prototype speech
recognition
product that is being developed and will be sold by QuillSoft (maker of
"WordQ") in Toronto." ?

Also, do you have a website for the Word for Word project in general?

Margaret

Subject: We're in our final month!

Dear spk2wrt list members,

Well, after crying wolf a number of times, it is now official: our funding

from NIDRR runs out on 2/28/05. After that the listserv will have to close

it's doors. While I've been a bit of an absentee monitor over the last two

months or so, the list has also been pretty quiet, so I don't know which
came first...

Anyway, we've had a fine ride on the list since 1998 through two projects,

the original "Speaking to Write" and the second project "Word for Word."
I'm pleased the list has continued to serve the community of people
interested in speech recognition in education. Our field is still emerging

I think, but the technology's improvements have made our work a lot
easier.

The "Word for Word" project itself produced a prototype speech recognition

product that is being developed and will be sold by QuillSoft (maker of
"WordQ") in Toronto.

I will continue to send out messages (a bit more regularly) as they arrive

over the next four weeks, so get your questions together!

Thanks to all,

Bob Follansbee
