Rather than trying a voice-to-text app, which can be difficult,
slow, with grammar errors (auto-complete), try setting up remote
CART. CART stands for Communication Access Real-time Translation.
Basically, a CART provider listens in to the sermon at his/her home
(or wherever) - usually through a cell phone used by the person
talking - and codes it in
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<span style="color: rgb(25, 25, 25); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',
Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;
line-height: 23px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent:
0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1;
word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline
!important; float: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">shorthand
</span>with a stenotype machine. Special software in a computer
(usually a laptop) translates the shorthand from the stenotype into
words. These words are then broadcast live over the internet on a
site such as <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.streamtext.net/">www.streamtext.net</a>. It's a very quick, reliable,
established method and it can be accessed either on a computer or
smart phone.<br>
<br>
I have a good friend who just started her own local Christian radio
show and she's also a CART provider and the sign interpreter at my
church. Because of her knowledge and background, she provides
remote CART for her radio show. Her deaf friends (some who live a
thousand miles away) "listen" in. It's an amazing experience: the
deaf listening to a radio show .. who would have thought?<br>
If you want to see a start page for the remote CART, it's here: <a href="http://www.streamtext.net/player?event="></a><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.streamtext.net/player?event=">http://www.streamtext.net/player?event=</a><br>
<br>
If you want more information and want to see about providing this
for your church, contact me privately and I can give you contact
information to get you started.<br>
<br>
Oh, and one other thing ... it provides a transcript of the sermon,
which can also be posted on your website, or printed out, archived,
etc.<br>
