Re: Using a computer with PD
I use a voice recognition program called DragonDictate. It allows for both dictation and cursor movement. It costs about $400 and requires a 486 PC or better and 16 K of RAM. The reviews say 30--40 words per minute are possible. I regularly average only a little over ten but that is considerably faster than I can now type. I plan to visit the company and determine if there is something basic that I am going incorrectly that keeps my words per minute down.
