I looked at the cyber magazine Joe mentioned.............Computer Currents Interactive at: http://www.currents.net/ clicked on <archives> and found the March 3rd. cover story at: http://www.currents.net/magazine/national/1605/covr1605.html Here you will find good reading and lots of links. Further searching turned up Susan Fulton at: http://www.out-loud.com/who_is_susan_fulton_anyway_.html http://www.out-loud.com/do_you_need_speech_recognition_.html Did you know that they have a voice-users e-mail List?? With searchable archives???? (Medium volume 3-4 messages a day) Harvard has a RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) Home Page at: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/rsi/ A related site at: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/carpal.html There is an Ergo World Products Master List of Suppliers at: http://www.interface-analysis.com/ergoworld/prods.htm I hope anyone interested in speech recognition and RSI finds these links useful. Best of great health Barbara and let us know how your speech dictation project works out. Incidentally, I believe Dragon Naturally Speaking was a PC Magazine's Editor's Choice if that means anything................. I have no connection financial or otherwise with any product or website you might conceivably link to from any of the foregoing. Happy Browsing..................Murray . [log in to unmask]
