About a week ago, I stuck my hand between two with large grouchy dogs rendering my hand and wrist useless. So I downloaded the free voice recognition software that can be downloaded for Windows XP and is built into Windows 7 since my hand and wrist still hurt like heck. I spent about an hour training it, and my conclusion is that it sucks but it is better than typing one handed, so I am still using it (including to type this message). Download SpeechSDK51.exe from the Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 if you're interested. It's totally free and worth every penny. kyle
