I have tendonitis from repetitive motion (too much typing) so I use Dragon to dictate memos, emails, letters, notices, etc. and this saves me from the pain and strain typing puts on my hands. Not only that, Dragon is a great relief from eye strain as I can have my text dictated back to me after it is composed.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is voice recognition software for your computer. I’ve been using it for many years, but the last two iterations of the software make quantum leaps in terms of accuracy and usability. The benefits are twofold. First, if you’re like me, a verbal processor, the ability to freely speak your thoughts can really unlock some productivity and creativity. I find I can especially take advantage of this when I’m a captive audience, for instance when I’m writing in a car.
I often create extensive documents on a particular topic on a trip and then simply proofread them when I return. Secondly, our rate of speaking and Dragon’s rate of understanding is typically about three times as fast as we can type. Dragon works natively with many wordprocessing applications as well as many applications of all kinds. Dragon can also work with your computer at the operating system level. As you know, I only put resource links to products that I’ve personally used and I believe in.
