Hello listers,

I hope this isn't too far off topic.

I teach computer classes at a local tech college.  One of my students is
hearing impaired.  While she can hear my voice, it is not clear to her.  By
reading my lips, she can understand fairly well.  Her problem is in taking
notes... can't very well look at me while she is writing.  She purchased
Dragon Naturaly Speaking and also got a Sony digital recorder (for some
extra $$$)

The question is:  How can I record my class and have my student take the
recording home and convert it to text?  I don't think the digital recorder
will record 3+ hours, but what about tape?  Can a tape player be plugged
into a sound card, then run voice recognition software with the tape running?

I once tried Dragon, and it crashed trying to "learn" my voice, but it was
about 90% accurate without my speach algorithm.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
