From what I've seen of "readers" I agree. And my approach to finding out =
was
strictly a "tongue in cheek" suggestion because, if it did work on =
someone,
it'd do nothing but get in the way of someone's enjoyment by slowing =
him/her
down.=20

But if I were into running up the highest possible contest scores, I'd =
be
tracking the automatic reading technology very closely. After all the =
"name
of the game" in a contest is contacts! I'm astonished at how well =
software
can read speech and turn it into text nowadays.

Even so, we're a long time from the day a reader will equal a good pair =
of
ears on an experienced op, and so they'll always have an edge.=20

 Most contesters can copy contest-type information at high=20
speed, even if they would have trouble keeping up a conversation at the=20
same speed.  And codereaders are not very good, especially in the=20
presence of noise/qrm or with weak signals.
