One other project in the pipeline is to transcribe voice recordings from 
local residents of their wartime memories.  Of course that /does/ run 
head-on into the 'many voices/many words' scenario and training would be 
impossible as the recordings are already done.  In this case I think the 
best way forward will be to listen to the recordings on headphones and 
repeat what they are saying myself for DNS to pick up.
