Story of the Day 8/ 26/ 2011 #3- not a story, just an addendum of things

According to the daily reports I have been receiving from Sarah, the speech to text has been a bit better. It was almost good for one class, this past week. Of course, the next day, the clarity of what it typed up was mud…or worse.

For example, in one of Sarah’s classes, she was taught about cremation.

Of course, since that class is with the J-D-W-B (JdahmrWanaBe*) student, she thought, at first, that maybe they were actually talking about cremation. Fortunately, the interpreter is good, so Sarah realized that the correct vocabulary word was “claymation”, but it did wake her up.

That student, the J-D-W-B, has impacted a lot of what Sarah gets and doesn’t get in her classes.

He has so revolted the woman in charge of the speech-to-text service, that she will not repeat his words into the microphone, nor type them. In this case, unfortunately, the interpreter is good, and Sarah still has to “hear” them.
