Hi All

I have a friend who can't type worth a hill of beans, but he needs to communicate through email, the web, etc...

What I thought is that perhaps some good Voice Recognition program would be the way to go.

Has anyone had any experience with Voice stuff, and are there any outstanding programs out there?

Thanks very much.

I brought ViaVoice a year or so back, and that was VERY good for its time. It recognised punctuation, ful;l stops, new lines, and obviously words. I dread to think how good it is now, as it was quite ahead of its time when I got it. The only thin it did have problems with, was multiple users. Anyway, thats what I would reccommend :)

Thanks, Andy. I'll look into it.

In the past I've used L&H VoiceExpress which sucked because the software would always crash my computer, and later ViaVoice which was much better. Microsoft has some voice recognition software that you can download for free from MSDN or .NET or whatever they call it, and it's available in several languages (English, Japanese, etc.).

Limecat is not pleased.

Thanks, Andrew. I recently got a WinXP machine, and it has some kind of voice thing, but it annoyed me so much that I disabled it. I'll look into the MS product that you referred to, though.

Thanks, again.

At this point in time, Dragon NaturallySpeaking is the clear 'winner' in this category, with great features, and very good accuracy.
