Technology
has created a variety of ways to convert spoken language
into words on a computer or projection screen, as the words are
spoken. These include the traditional court reporter verbatim
stenography systems; more recent, non-verbatim meaning-based systems;
and even more recent, automatic speech recognition systems.
There is a growing use of these "speech-to-text"
technologies
to provide communication access in classes and meetings
for people who cannot hear, or otherwise cannot directly perceive
spoken language. These include CaptionMic©,
CART,
C-Print©,
RapidText®,
TypeWell®
and
others.
The mission of this Speech to Text Services Network (STSN) is to
provide
information and support to service providers, administrators, and
consumers about this growing area of support services; and to foster
excellence of service.
