I am using a W2K Terminal Services server, in the head
office, for branch offices. We use Philips Speechmike
digital dictation in the head office, plugging the
handset into a USB port on each PC, and copying the WAV
files to a network share via the LAN. Can I use
Speechmike in branch offices by loading it on the TS
server? There is a physical USB handset connection for
each PC, so will TS let my PC path the data through my
local USB to the network during that session?

Eventually there should be about 30 users, from 4
offices, using this method of dictation.

Any advice would be appreciated.
 
As far as I know speach recognition and sound recording are not supported in any version of Terminal Server. The only usb devices that are redirected are printers and USB Storage Devices (i.e. hard drive & media reader)

It is rumoured that the next version of Citrix Presentation
Manager is going to support this. I don't know the release date,
but believe that it is planned for Q2 or Q3 2004.
Don't know either if it will require Windows 2003 as base OS for
this feature.
