OT-OT Regarding your question about voice recognition program. First, those that are currently on the market would not work to transcribe the CC or anything like that.

They all are basically "trained" to recognize a particular voice pattern. Some like Dragon allow for multiple users. But only work for one user at a time. And even at that a 90% or so accuracy is probably peak performance. It's been my experience that the accuracy is less then that and they only work well when using sound card(s) & headset(s) that are recommended by the manufacturer. The latest PC Magazine has a nice write up comparing the leading titles. Their pick is Dragon Naturally Speaking with IBM's Via Voice getting honorable mention.

The technology's pretty cool, but I still think they're somewhat expensive novelty software.

As for GBLX I certainly appreciate all the information provided by the many knowledgeble participants on this thread. Although there's much I don't fully understand I continue to learn more about the various facets of the GBLX business plan. The more I learn the more I'm glad to be a shareholder.
