Wow! you can move the mouse with a voice command? That just blows my mind. I probably sound exactly like hundreds of people who have either cornered me or sat me down and grilled me about screen readers or Braille or anything else (not that I mind at all...I had one person once who took notes on everything I said, LOL), but that's amazing to me. Do you know I once read an article about a woman who wrote a fifty thousand-word novel with Dragon? (Well, something in that vein.) She'd injured her hands years before and had to do it that way or not at all. "That's devotion," I thought. Over half of my fifty thousand would have been "Um...uh...what should I say next...um..." *smile*
Oh, I love the things it's possible to do with computers if you mess up. It's great! LOL And embarrassing sometimes, of course. It wouldn't be technology if it didn't have the potential to annoy, embarrass, and be laughable all at once.

Hi Nicole,It is a royal pain in the butt, but since my hands don't allow me to really keyboard stuff it's what I have to have to use a computer. Dragon is heads and shoulders above anything else out there, though, especially when it comes to moving the mouse around via voice commands or doing mouse clicks.Yep, one can get used to anything! smile. I have to be careful to proofread everything because it makes some hysterically funny (and embarrassing) mistakes sometimes.Judy s. Elfqueen wrote:Wow, you use Dragon? I've heard and read a bit about it and similar programs that do the speech, and I think it's fascinating. Not to pry or ask silly questions, but is it very hard? It sounds like it would be a real challenge. But I guess one can get used to anything?Blessings, NicoleTo unsubscribe from this list, send a blank Email to bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the Subject line.
