As Celia says in her message, this won't work. However, if the student does
not have a speech or hearing impairment, an alternative is for her to
tape the lecture and then transcribe orally from tape to Dragon NS.
The extra process should help remembering/learning anyway.
Most lecture transcripts would need to heavily edited to remove all of
the 'ahhs' and 'erms'. The best (for recording purposes!) would be
those read from a script and - if a script is available - there's not
much point recording it
On a related point, some teachers have experimented with speech to
text in lectures. It is quite possible to deliver a lecture and have your
words projected directly to a large screen or to individual monitors.
Lecturers can use a direct-wired or radio microphone. This is of
particular use for those working with hearing impaired students,
although I suspect the inevitable misrecognitions would be a source
of confusion and amusement.
