tom, you made me think of something off topic from your question but maybe important. Sometimes I can't get my fingers to follow orders too. I was discussing the new Windows 2000 XP operating system and he told me it has a native speech recognition component that is great. He routinely gets 90 - 100% accuracy while dictating. I will be getting a new computer soon with this Operating System, so I'll keep the list posted. Wouldn't it be great if it worked for us Parkies, as long as our speech holds up anyway. I'm also going to contact Microsoft to see if their corperate giving division might be interested in donating the OS to PWP who can't afford to purchase the software.
