Well I'd say  that the opinions expressed in this message are around 3
years out of date.

Hi all,

Found this on the GUI Talk mailing list.

Though there are programs for speech recognition like the mainstream
Dragon Naturally Speaking, and the more blind friendly Jay-Say, which
works as a go between with Dragon and JAWS, these can be very expensive.
Also, there's a fair amount of training with the program to recognize
your voice, and making corrections as appropriate. In other words, you
can't just pick up the mike and start talking when you get the program.
I knew people who trained in Dragon alone, and that took at least 6-10
hours total before the program started to recognize someone's voice.
That said though, I've heard that with the Jay-Say solution, you can
become quite proficient. It will simply take some time.

In other words, while it might seem appealing to talk to your computer,
you'll get better results in the short run by simply using the keyboard,
wireless or otherwise.

Jmt,
Wayne
