[nfbcs] dictation software

[Gary Wunder]

Dragon can be used without other software, but a bit of bridge software
makes some of its functions much easier and blind friendly.

I use it all the time and think it is a real help.

Subject: [nfbcs] dictation software

I have an interesting issue here.  I have been attempting to gain full
control of my computer with my braille sense on hand, but some of the JAWS
commands can not be done this way very easily.  I was thinking at least for
purposes of controling the computer when I want to use my braille device an
d be able to limit my time on the regular keyboard since I read and type
both very fast so i was wondering if any of the dictaiton software works
well with Windows and Jaws.  I've heard of some scripts that work with JAWS
for this, but I'm not interested in paying for software to make Dragon
accessible with another program that is already supposed to provide
accessibility.  Is there no way to use things like Dragon naturally Speaking
with JAWS or other screen readers, and if there is, is there a manual
available as well?  I have access to bookshare and Kindle and all things of
that manner so I can read most texts if available.  My hands just get very
tired going back and forth between braille display and computer keyboard.  I
will be doing transcription, and of course I won't dictate that, but I still
would want to use dictation for other things.  Thank you for your help. How
have any of you found the Windows 7 included speech recognition?
