[dba-Tech] Voice Recognition Software

Arthur,

I believe it was William Hindman on the Access-D list who used Dragon 
Software's "Naturally Speaking". Try the Archives for an OT subject on 
Carpal Tunnel. He seemed to use voice-recognition software quite 
extensively in his day-to-day computing.

Hope this helps,
Bob
