what you think that using SW is! It's depend on the project (transcription,
writing, education, translation, informatics?), the people involved, the cities
involved...<br>
Can we tell Italians use SW? There is a group of italians using SW, but there
are less than 10 persons (we just start spreading SW, after 10 years studing it
for research purposes, so now we have about 50-60 persons knowing it, but did
they use it? I don't know!). By the way, they use it massively to research
purpose envolving writing and transcription. So we can't tel that Italians
(all!!!) use SW, but we can tell that there is a "pole of excelence"
on SW in Rome.<br>
I think that it very hard to speak about countries using it. I prefere to think
that there are places where SW is used: Rome (10 persons), Toulouse (1 person),
La Jolla (Valerie and the DAC's members)... Maybe in some palces it's more
extended, because they use it at scool (but to be considered "spread"
it have to be more than one single scool, I think). I hope that, frome those
"pole of excelence" we can spread SW all around us, but it's not
already done! We have to work harder!!! :-)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
