Betty,

The Lanier business is important because it is a testimony to the wide range of applications for removable, non-volatile, digital storage.

I think it would be great to be able to dictate to a CF card, plug the card into a card reader and have it automatically transcribed with Dragon Systems Naturally Speaking. The raw voice text could be temporarily stored on a file server for off-line review until a hard copy is typed. Also, this software program is able to recognize the context of the dictation and then default to the most phonetically correct word using a database developed specifically for a given profession/specialty. This greatly reduces mistakes by eliminating "phononyms" (is that a word?). Additionally, in the field of medicine the requirements for documentation of service are increasingly complex and dictation costs are not insignificant. As a matter of fact, it was addressed as a matter of concern at our last executive meeting.

Maybe SanDisk will create an audio storage card based on the multilevel recording perfected by Invox. Voice quality is paramount in this type of application.
