Joe,

The leaders in speech recognition software is a company called Scan Soft and they have a product called "Dragon Naturally Speaking". Here is the link...

Joe, I use the Dragon Naturally Speaking and it really works good. It has a unique teaching method and you don't have to dictate in a slow monotone. Speak normally and it is very accurate. You can also use commands like "Open Microsoft Word" or "FILE, SAVE" and "OK". It is not 100% but it don't miss it far. I have dictated recepies, letters and all kinds of stuff. It comes with a headphone/mic that you plug into your sound card. Really a neat piece of software. Hope this helps.
