Speech recognition is very good these days, and very easy. But it does still 
make the odd glitch so using it with JAWS I understand doesn't work great. 
Although there have been debates on the email lists about whether you need 
software such as J-say to work with it or not.

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
