Does anyone have experience of voice recognition software? Any recomnendations as to which one to purchase? Use will be restricted to word documents.
What OS are you using - XP has an inbuilt VR system, haven't used it myself but at least it's free
Using XP pro but suspect i need something a bit more tech than the free version
Haven't worked in VR for a while now but I beleive the battle is still between Dragon and IBM technology. Phillips were supposed to have a cracking engine but never ever managed to package it before I left the business. The Dragon stuff in theory was slightly inferior IMHO but always had a big lead on user interface and intgration into the Windows OS. IBM had the better engine but just couldn't get the whole package right. I left when the continous speach stuff was getting to market but I tried some Dragon continous stuff not long ago and it did very well out of the box. With a bit of work it had my geordie accent no problem at about 30 - 40 words a minute. BTW I can't type that fast.
Edited because I still can't type and probably need a speech recognition system.

Tried both when I was laid up with a back problem for four months some years ago. Dragon seemed better, but took a lot of training for UK english accent.
Interesting but weird... after my op. and when I was vertical again, I tried it and it didn't recognise my voice - obviously laying on the floor with my head bent forward changed my voicebox!
