Martha:

The software that I've heard the most about is called "Dragon Dictate". I
believe it costs about $3000. I have an acquaintance on another list who is
using this due to RSI. I'm sorry I don't know more about it (like what
programs it works with).

Good luck.

Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned."
