[Moderator's note: Thanks, Bridgette. Good ol' Ed, whose site this is on.
As you can see, this is a reprint from an earlier piece in an IDA journal.
In this context, Word for Word refers to the project name, not the product
which came out of it as a concept/prototype, which is SpeakQ [part of
WordQ]. Anyway, I think the article is still relevant in lots of ways.

Actually, with doing a web search, I also came up with this article, also
by
Bob... (hope you don't mind me referencing all your work here Bob :-)
It's just such good stuff!

[Moderator's note. Yes, that was me and I recall finally meeting you,
Nettie. Anyway, I think the product will be out soon, but it is now out of
my hands. See my discussion in other messages today. As for the mic,
Fraser was using it and had just purchased it the day before at OfficeMax.
I don't know what kind it was, but it WAS Bluetooth compatible. I am
hopelessly old fashioned and am still attached. Maybe others know of good
wireless mics? Bob]
Hi Bob,
I saw the demonstration of Word for Word at CSUN last year. (I think
that is the product you are referring to). Do you know when the
projected availability date is scheduled? Is this the same software
that was demoed. I think you were one of the co-presenters - am I
correct? If I am correct, I have been trying to locate the wireless
microphone that was used. Any information would be greatly
appreciated. I have a Toshiba with blue tooth and the SD card that I
was told was necessary to use this wireless mic option. I liked the
fact that you microphone was small and appeared quite functional.
I own a Jabra wireless mic that I purchased to use with my telephone but
that does not seem to be working -- does not do the required synch with
the bluetooth SD card.
If you are the same person who demonstrated the speech-to-text software
at CSUN and used the wireless mic, I would greatly appreciate your help
with this search. Thanks.
Nettie Fischer, ATP
