Hi Kay, Are you or your friend aware of Voice Type Dictation (VTD)? I just received a package from IBM this afternoon about it and your message prompted me to open it. Haven't yet read all the info, (just looked in to see what they call it), but I know there are several 'voice' methods for inputing into the computer. If you or your friend would like more info please let me know and I'll be happy to (a) tell you what I can and/or (b) send you this package. Or, perhaps you may want to call IBM where(ever) you are. ;-) Wishing you much luck, Helen Spence ([log in to unmask])
