thanks! I was debating about getting it. I still have trouble with my fingers and hand from my arthritis in my neck etc. So it sounded like it might be a good thing. I was to be tested for carpel tunnel - my old dr. thought I had it too, but I never pushed for it, and now I have a new doctor.

I dont think mom uses email enough yet to warrant it for her, she is more of a "googler" for now but I still may investigate it for me at some point if it types pretty fast when you talk. I am a very fast typist but do suffer "carpel tunnel syndrome" due to years of medical transcribing. I wouldnt mind trying it for myself if I can get it half price. I used to worry uh oh , will I be replaced with one of those programs back when I was a medical typist but I do not think those programs can do everything we did in that capacity in understanding what a sentence context is rather than what it just sounds like. cristy -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
