In my opinion time delay is not even necessary, it is a matter of choosing the right compression at the right level. If I had time I would start the following project: * choose an existing speech-to-text converter (open source) * use cbh compression on the text, as normally no more than 250

Robert, Thanks for pointing this out. The link is for 1999. Regarding WF1F/RITTY. The 1998 manual I have for WF1B (a DOS program) shows support for RITTY as a DOS TSR. Earlier manuals don't show it. I recall trying to get a sound card going in DOS. It was a real bear-- at least for the

Hi Mike. I studied some aspects of voice recognition about 10 years ago when I thought of joining a research group at Czech Technical University in Prague. I have a 260 pages text book on my book shelf on voice recognition. Voice signal has high redundancy if compared to a text transcription.

Brian, You're welcome. Yeah, back then the PC and soundcard technology was in its infancy compared to the technology we use today. I was aware of the RTTY-RITTY capability because Brian had sent me code to test before he released RITTY for sale. Ray and Brian were working together to make sure

When using Simon's DM780 for MFSK16, I get a lot of question marks ? in the received text display. If I quickly switch to MultiPSK I don't get the question marks. It's kind of a pain. I assume the question mark is displayed because some unknown character has been received. Is there any way of

Roger, What about shared resoures don't you understand? There isn't any RTTY portion of the band for US licensees other than what is contained in the regs. For example on 20M: 14.025-14.150 MHz: CW, RTTY/Data (for several classes of licenses.) There simply isn't enough room to fit 500
