Re:I can just see it now....100's of people sitting in their cubicals on a floor all talking to their computers with 1 sec pauses between each word

Dave,

A physician I work with currently has Dragon Dictate from Dragon Systems. The accuracy rate is 99%+ after using it several weeks and the wpm rate can reach 100+. In terms of pauses, there are none; it works in real time without pauses. And it is smart enough to separate the users voice from others in the room. His one complaint of the system: the CPU cannot handle all of the data efficiently. And keep in mind he is running it on a speedy 200Mhz Pentium. Sometimes the system has to wait and "think" about a phrase.

ReOne of the bullish people who's opinion I respect on this thread, believes that in the shortterm AMAT was overpriced at 50. And I think he knows alot more about AMAT than the Morgan fellow

Are you serious?? Do you even know who "Morgan" is? I was referring to James Morgan, CEO of AMAT. I doubt that anyone on this or any other thread on SI has a handle on technology issues and a blueprint for the future even close to that of JM.

regards,

Brian
