I believe typing is old fashioned and our future may see a new  
freedom from the keyboard. Some people on my team are already using  
Via Voice to transcript audio by training to their own voice and then  
repeating what they hear in their headset  out to their  mic and Via  
voice types text into my  Revolution application. Yes, a little clean  
up an spelling checking from the keyboard is needed at the end... but  
the laborious task of hours keying data is going away. Ask yourself  
why your doctor is saying your adrenals are exhausted and you need to  
relax when all you do is sit in a chair all day? "Hey Doc, I'm not  
stressed... I don't get it" OK.. maybe the keyboard is harder work  
than we think.

  Think different.

So, I'm deep into voice over R & D here: from syncing presentations  
with voice to voice annotations of photos to VoIP... next week we  
install our high intensity Wi-Fi antenna and will be adding  
amplifiying nodes on the property where needed.   OK, so...  
*everything* is via USB these days. but I can't find a USB option for  
a "recordInput" value for the Revolution recording function on Mac OSX..

I *really* need this. I think I may be missing something simple..   
uLaw compressor at 22 mz mono with file format set .au  is great.  
boots QT player and WMP, small files size and perfectly acceptable  
quality for comms... I just need to be able to tell Revolution how to  
access the system USB mic input API.

Any ideas?
