This final report describes the development and evaluation of C-Print, a system for transcription of computer-aided speech to print. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the 3-year federally supported project. Chapter 2 provides background information on current speech-to-print systems. Chapter 3 focuses on needed improvements in C-Print, especially improvements in the general and specialized dictionaries and development of procedures for condensing text. Chapter 4 focuses on the C-Print captionist, including roles and responsibilities, training procedures, the training workshop, and the workshop evaluation. Chapter 5 discusses C-Print captionists' perceptions of their experiences in supporting students in the classroom. Chapter 6 reports on a questionnaire and in-depth interview studies of the system with 36 deaf or hard of hearing students at the college level. The final chapter reports on a pilot study using C-Print with two deaf high school students. An appendix lists other materials providing information on the C-Print Project. (Contains 31 references.)
