Hi Andrew. I'll try to be brief here because the solution I need to speak about is produced by the company I am the MD of and I don't want to unfairly advertise on the list! Dragon is frankly the only Speech Recognition program which currently is worth looking at, although at some stage in the reasonably near future Windows Vista will have something viable to offer with it's speech input module. However Dragon and any Screen Reader will not properly interact with each other if simply installed side by side. The most effective interface is with Dragon and JAWS and this is provided through a product called I-Say. The Jawbone product which Chris mentioned in his reply was in fact discontinued around 3 years ago. for more information about the I-Say product either visit our web site at www.tandt-consultancy.com and navigate to the I-Say page, or contact me off list and I'll be pleased to further assist. Very best regards and apologies Christine if this message is slightly out of list boundaries! ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
