I'd think students listening to a teacher in a auditorium, would appreciate voice recognition, if done with sufficient quality, much more than typing. For me personally it always was either listening/understanding or taking notes.
- pjc50 10y agoPossibly, although there are some people who believe that the act of taking notes helps retention. Certainly you'd still have to review the transcript to deal with all the uhming and sidetracking of a live speaker. Mind you, I'm old enough that I took all my lecture notes longhand. I'd love to see a dictation system cope with maths notation. (Thinking back, 20 years ago I went to a lecture on the subject of "what on earth will we do with >4Gb of RAM"...)

It is not a new idea that programs will grow to fit all available resources, I'm pretty sure it had been observed by at least the 1970s: http://www.anvari.org/fortune/Laws/2511_laws-of-computer-programming-1-any-given-program-when-running-is-obsolete.html http://www.anvari.org/fortune/Laws/2511_laws-of-computer-pro... That reference isn't dated, but I can't seem to find a dated one because it's just the sort of ambient humor that floated around for a long time and got embedded into fortune files and such. Search for that and you find it all over, unattributed.
