Hi H.C..... (Scroll down past my response to read H.C.'s message) I've forwarded your message on to the List, per your request, and I'm sure you'll hear from a number of List members about various voice recognition programs which are being used. I have Dragon Dictates, which has been updated considerably I first got it. Dragon's Natalie Speaking is the latest version, I believe, and I've heard nothing but positives about the software. Mostly I sit here at my keyboard slapping away at the keys, manually, tho.. . Uhhhhh.... I think it's a "control issue," on my part! <grin> (I can see our resident shrinks nodding their respective heads in agreement) <Gee, shrink-guys.... cut the lady some slack, huh?> (LOL) Anyway, H.C., I strongly urge ya to try one of the voice recognition programs as they've certainly come a long way in the past coupla-three years. I feel safe in saying, you WILL benefit from using one.
