You know, dogs can recognize about 200 different words. So if you assume that there are 10,000 commonly used words, and that most words used fall in this 10,000, you could get 50 dogs and train each to recognize 200 words. Then you'd need some sort of 200-key doggie keyboard for each dog....
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sox,
if you wanted to go straight up time-intensive, you could take 2 minute snippets and play them for jott and jott will send you transcripts.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
My oldest brother just told me something neat. He was 8 when I was born, and our parents told him that he could name me. He chose Jonathan because that was the name of one of his best friends at the time -- Jonathan Rubinstein.
I wonder if I can get a free iPod out of this?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That's incredibly awesome. But instead of a free iPod, you should get him to put a theremin app in all future iPods and iPhones.

Not anymore. But maybe a free Centro.

You got lucky. My cousin is 6 months pregnant with twins and asked her 7 year old daughter what names she liked for them. Her answer? "Poo Poo and Pee Pee." DF's response, "Hey, middle names and everything!" Poor little boo is not ready for baby brothers.

weird mp3 voice recognition question - my craxy associates don't want to transcribe a sound file ... and are looking for voice recognition software that they can use to process/transcribe it instead. Beyond the ::lazy! lazy! bad! bad! :: wheelspin that I'm stuck in, does anyone have experience with this? Suggestions?
I don't think that any voice recognition software is going to be satisfactory for a voice that it hasn't been trained on. I use Naturally Speaking, and it is very accurate now with me, but with a another voice it makes a mess of things.
