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.
