[Moderator's note. Thanks, Paula, for your kind words. (Are you sure
you're not just saying them because we are both reggae fans?) You are
certainly one of the earlier voices I heard in on-the-ground educational
practice in applying SR, as well as other AT, and in that sense your input
has always been invaluable. I'm embarrassed to say that I never looked to
see what Ed had going after he announced it--oh Ed, any info here? As for
the Yahoo-type idea, it may be the best option without an independent
source for funding and moderation, but I'm waiting for until next week to
make a general annoucement and I welcome continuing thoughts on the
matter. Bob]
I have participated in a Yahoo Voice recognition list for the past few
years. Sorry to the owner of the list - but it is not informative at all.
Ed Rosenthal was starting a list - spoke about it at last years CSUN
conference. I have not checked to see if Ed's list is up and running -
but
I really liked the educational focus of this list. Ed - are you willing
to
post your list information here?
If it goes to a Google or Yahoo format - we might loose some of our
educational perspective.
Thanks so much Bob - for everything you have done with your grant and
website, list and product development. I personally will feel like I have
lost a near and dear friend with the disappearance of this list. I highly
regarded the collegial support and sharing that occurred on this list. You
need to be congratulated on a job well done.

[Moderator's note. Christine. Thanks--I also think the focus on education
(not ALWAYS apparent) has been useful. Anyway, as discussed in another
message today, Yahoo or similar may be the way to go. I participate in a
couple of Yahoo groups and a couple in some server called TopicA
(www.topica.com), but I've never set one up. Folks with experience should
send in messages about pros/cons, etc. We'll do SOMETHING! Bob]
Is there anyway to move this group to a yahoo or google group? I don't
know what it takes to monitor such a thing but I enjoy the educational
focus of this group. Other voice list serves that I participate in are
too technical most of the time and have endless discussion on the
perfect microphone or memory size. Anyway, that's just a thought on my
side since I enjoy the educational focus. Its such a unique group with
unique needs.

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
