In answer to the question from Robin C. 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?

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
