Palantype And Speech To Text Reporting (EDM1630)

Palantype And Speech To Text Reporting

EDM number 1630 in 2003-04, proposed by Tom Levitt on 09/09/2004.

That this House recognises the valuable work of speech to text reporters in providing communication support and access to information for hearing-impaired people in public meetings and elsewhere, the development of Palantype technology which has allowed this to blossom and the role of the company Possum as the sole manufacturer of Palantype keyboards and spare parts in Britain; regrets profoundly the decision of Possum to discontinue the manufacture of maintenance of Palantype machines and the effect this could have on communication support for hearing-impaired people and the careers of speech to text reporters; and urges the company to suspend its decision for reconsideration and to allow time for alternative arrangements for the manufacture and maintenance of these machines to be made.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
