Ron C. I've been using DragonDictate (one word, not two), which is generally considered to be one of the top voice-to-text programs on the market today. I've found it not only to be an excellent product, but to also have one of the most logically written and easy to understand user manuals I've ever seen. I suggest you order the MAX catalog (subtitled "Aids & Appliances for Independent Living," and BOY... it's FULL of devices to help get the most out of your 'puter!).). It lists several voice-to-text software products amongst a plethora of other aids. The MAXI catalog is free and may be ordered by calling: (800) 522-6294.

I am 50 years old and continue to be productive, but am having increasing difficulty using a keyboard. My professional productivity is related to writing. I have found some reviews of voice-dictation software, and it sounds like IBM's voice-dictation system receives the highest ratings. Any experiences you have had of either IBM or other voice-dictation software products would be appreciated.
