Have you tried Dragon Naturally Speaking recently? I tested it last 
Summer and was surprised at how well it did on the first pass. The 
editing features worked quite well too. It did not take long to get clean 
text. It was not that much slower than my typing speed and speaking 
disturbed my thinking far less than typing. I thought it was a winner.

Good question. I have not tried these much. I think they require more 
force to type and that might not be good for you.

Have you considerd using a pair of USB keyboards? They will both work 
simultaneously and will give you more choices about keys. This will 
certainly cost far less than any fancy keyboard.
