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

You have all given me some great ideas on how to handle this. I'm going to
play around with your suggestions and see which will work the best for me. I

Helen,
If you have some hearing you might consider listening to the
webinars with earphones, which in turn might allow you to
increase the volume high enough for you to hear what is
being said. Additionally, some of the webinars have had
live video of the presenters, though that video typically
Thank you all so much for your detailed explanations, especially Sherry.
You've answered all my questions.
First of all, I don't have computer speakers - don't need them, can't
hear them. Haven't used a phone in 10 years - can't find one loud

Yes, in most cases (if not all) the first thing you see is "turn on your
speakers" (or something to that effect). By definition, a webinar would be
the exact same thing as you going to a simple presentation at your local
library (or wherever) where someone is speaking for on a particular t
Helen,
A Webinar is a seminar attended through an internet link. It is
possible (and probable) that you could get some benefit from
attending. Though some of the webinar is spoken, most have
presentation slides that show what they are talking about. You might

Gene - I've read the Legacy webinar page and am still no wiser. The word
"verbally" appears nowhere. Exactly how is all this information
explained? Does one sit at their computer with speakers turned on and
listen to a lecture, does one download material, exactly what goes on?
None of the descripti
Basically just want the wiki said - a web-based seminar. You can even
"raise your hand" and ask a question if you wish by typing it into the
provided discussion window.
Unfortunately, there is no capacity for closed- caption, but it's not
just a "talking head". There are screen shots and slides.
