Cover, "Nature, red in tooth and claw" is from Alfred Lord Tennyson's "In Memoriam" (LVI, 15). Speaking of which, does anyone know how to obtain the electronic texts of poems by Tennyson or Robert Browning?

Trotter, II" <CMSRTT01@NAUVM> Subject: audio input to computers The nature of my ethnographic research dictates that I record very lengthy interviews. Many of the interviews are extremely open ended and it is common to reinterview a particular informant multiple times. For every hour of interview, I face between four and six hours of transcription, since I feel I need verbatim transcripts, rather than summaries, for analysis. There is new software/hardware available that has been discussed on a couple of networks that allows visually impaired individuals to hear their screens. I would like to know if there is any equipment that would allow us to move information in the other direction. We need to be able to play a tape and have it transcribed into the computer. Does anyone out there know if all or part of this processes can be accomplished? I would be happy to summarize any responses sent to me, for the network. RTT
