Well, Helen, it was worth a try. :-) Perhaps some sort of speech-to-text device might help you. I was able to view the text of Geoff Rasmussen's voice delivery from one of the webinars a few minutes ago when I played back the Real Player video and recorded the voice with Dragon Dictation on my iPhone. The problem with that "solution" is that it's not a real-time transcription, though it's pretty accurate. There are also programs for the PC such as Express Scribe, that allows voice input to be transcribed to text, and Windows from XP on up has speech recognition built it, which allows dictation, but it's very awkward to use. There should be a simple software switch to throw that provides real-time captioning for voice on our PCs. The technology is not unknown. If I find anything I'll let you know.
