Speech recognition may seem easy, but it's far from perfect. It is not as
accurate as using a keyboard, and can be frustrating at times. Plus, for
Dragon to work well with JAWS, you need an intermediary program called J-Say
that acts as a bridge between the two. And suppose you develop laryngitis?
Lol!

Dear All
I got an inquiry about speech recognition software from a sighted person.
The guy obviously does not know the difference between Jaws and for example
Dragon Naturally Speaking.
This made me curious:
If Dragon Naturally Speaking (or other kinds of speech recognition software
for that matter) is so easy to use, fast and convenient, why would anybody
bother to type or use the mouse and keyboard and I would like to include Jaws
users here.
Jaws users then need Jaws to read to them, but why would we bother to handle
Excel, Word ect. If speech recognition is so easy?
Thanks.
Renette
