sometime in the last year or so, "Deaf American" had an article on
real-time speech-to-text transcription, using large TV monitors for
display.  since people tend to talk faster than a typist can type
word-for-word, and since typed summaries are less than satisfactory,
the setup used a court reporting machine attached to a microcomputer.
evidently court reporting machines use something like a phonic system
(anyone really know?).
	the end result was that speech *was* transcribed to text in
real-time, but with the draw back of not being able to dis-ambiguate
(sp?) homophones.
