In my stream-of-unconsciousness remarks I mentioned iDictate. That is a non-real-time commercial speech-to-text path. I recommend that the even use something like that rather than relying entirely on someone trying to capture a summary in real time. Real-time summarization should be part of the conversation: echoing with participant opportunity to confirm/deny right there. Some related footnotes. If we get a person with a hearing loss as one of the participants, we need to upgrade the infrastructure of the real-time event somehow. If they are a sign language user, they may just be supported by interpreters at their site. If they are happy to work with a text transcript, something like the service offered by Caption First or Viable Technologies can be slipped in as an upgrade (real-time plus later corrected).. Al
