I'm using Simply Speaking Gold (~$99), which may be saving some wear and tear on my hands. I don't have PD, my father has PD (or something similar). His problem, though, is trouble speaking, so voice recognition software won't help him. Simply Speaking Gold has reasonably good accuracy, but I have to correct it 5-10 percent of the time... also, I'm feeding it some technical words and names that it couldn't possibly have in its dictionary. So far, I like it. -Bill
