for rayilyn and anyone else:
i have been doing 'communications therapy' as both my voice and control of my hands leave much to be desired. it was decided to concentrate on my voice, and i am learning how to use the dragon software - quite an undertaking as it requires teaching the dragon to recognize my accent. and now that we've trained - more-or-less - the therapy computer, we have to begin training mine.
i am also learning to type with two fingers - to slow me down, as my screwed up pianist hands try to go too fast and do a festination thing like running down a slope.
but seriously, i strongly recommend the dragon if you have any voice at all, however slurred and unclear.the dragon does eventually learn.

I find listening to music helps, though my difficulty is walking not hands -
my legs won't co-ordinate. a rhythmic tune helps here - may work on hands ?
