Ok, so sometimes the sinemet talks and sometimes it takes a siesta. As I sit here writing this to you today most of my keystrokes take me to the right and down the page but some days I spend a LOT of my time backing up and correcting and correcting and correcting. Now, there is something to be said for a good word processing program's integrated dictionary. And, I've found it also helps to just power type away and let the dictionary program function more as a literary generalist and sweep the whole piece clean as well as correct mispellings but eventually we come to the point where a good voice recognition software program would a) save lots of inputting time and b) would also keep a majority of the typos from occurring as it went along. Can anyone with experience with voice recognition systems recommend a good practical, fairly inexpensive system? I know the Kurzweil synthesizer folks and the MS/Windows folks are working on an interface that I am sure will be topshelf (and also expensive). I also recently picked up a brochure from another firm that makes vox systems which appear to be quality systems but they seem a little "fuzzy:" in their description of how they interface with existing word processing programs Advice? Prizes? Horror Stories? Any info you deem of interest to the whole list, please post that way but if you think it would be of more direct interest to me, please send it off list to my userid (& I'll compile it and copyright it and compose a book with my new voice activated word processor and sell it all back to you for exceeding and unGodly profits .... capitalism, ain't it grand?) Thank you the Rat in Phx (God bless everyone including TIny Tim but please make the little bugger stop singing. Grazi.)
