Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Keep the faith, . Better times are ahead. Maybe your husband, since he is happily waiting on you hand and foot, can go buy some voice recognition software for you. How about Dragon Naturally Speaking? Check this info out from University of Toronto's Adaptive Technology Resource Centre: " Comparing Voice Recognition Software: Dragon Naturally Speaking 7.0 Preferred Edition vs. ViaVoice 10.0 Standard Edition " : http://www.utoronto.ca/atrc/tutorials/dns-via.html As you most likely know, I wholeheartedly approve of wine therapy if one's physical state and med list allows. Enjoy it while you can! I'll tell you where to go!
