August 5, 1999 Meeting Announcement Lernout and Hauspie and Syntran
Our August, 1999 DVPC meeting will feature Lernout and Hauspie, one of the leading publishers of voice recognition software. We'll see Voice Xpress which comes in versions for all levels of users. Depending on the version, Voice Xpress features dictation into Microsoft Word, or almost any Windows applications. And it has been updated to work with Microsoft Office 2000. The demo will show how Voice Xpress achieves up to 98% accuracy, L&H XpressStart lets you begin using the package as soon as you install it, and Talking Tools. Then Syntran (who missed the July meeting) will demonstrate FaxPrint and CamPrint. FaxPrint bypasses your computer, directing incoming faxes straight to your printer so they can be printed immediately. With CamPrint you simply connect your digital camera and your printer to the CamPrint unit and you can print all or individual photos, multiple photos of the same image, or select different sizes to print -- all without having to turn on your PC. And we'll have a special DVPC auction, featuring two copies of Microsoft Office 2000 Premium. See the article on page 10 for more information about the auction. DVPC meetings are held in the lobby conference room in Building B at the Bank of America Technology Center office complex in Concord, located near the northeast corner of Clayton Road at Galindo (see the Map to Monthly Meetings on page 15). Please use the main entrance of the building, which is in the center of the front of the building that faces Clayton road. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the main meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. From 6:30 to 7:00 we'll have the New User's SIG meeting; you can visit the Networking Table if you have something to sell or trade, need technical help, or just want to exchange views; and, as usual, we'll have library disks and those great DVPC mugs (version 2) for sale. The main meeting will include SIG news, random access, our presenters, and some of our usual great door prizes. See you at this month's meeting!

President's Corner By Alan Mildwurm, DVPC
e-DVPC! This month, in addition to two excellent presentations by Lernout and Hauspie (voice recognition software) and Syntran (FaxPrint and CamPrint, held over from the July meeting), we will have a mini-auction of several products which we have acquired. Our showcase products to auction are two copies of Microsoft Office 2000. We have a diverse spectrum of goodies which I think will be of interest to our members. As a DVPC first, you will be able to bid on the products prior to the meeting over our website! You MUST be present at the August meeting meeting to finalize your bid! Of course you will be able to pick up these terrific products at great prices, but we have established some minimums - our treasurer won't let us just give them away!! Help us augment the treasury while you add to your software collection! See the "Rules Article" in this issue de (Continued on page 2)

You Asked for It!
We've been asked to make
Diablo Blue available in Adobe Acrobat format, so it can be read as a unit.
Well, here it is folks! It's a huge file to download (as PDF files often are),
about 674KB this month, but if you have the bandwidth, or the
time, go for it! You'll need Adobe Acrobat, and/or the Acrobat plug-in for
your browser, which
you can get here, to be able to read this PDF document file.
