Hello Mary: J-Say is a British program that has been around for years, a wrap-around Dragon Natural Speaking, designed for people with limited or no hand mobility. I had to learn it years ago in order to teach a younger blind person with Multiple Sclerosis and was surprised how well it works. You can indeed give commands to the computer or dictate to it, it accommodates different accents, even understood perfectly my Cuban-accented English.
Having said that, I still would not use it unless you have trouble typing; it requires patience and with the advent of Cortana and the rapid updates to all that new Windows technology, I would go that route instead. As far as J-Dictate, I have no idea, never used it.

I’m guessing this question might be seen as a bit too general to be of interest to the list. So please feel free to reply privately if you want. I don’t want to clog the list with stuff folks don’t care about. I am curious about the J dictate and J say. I read the blurb on Brian‘s website. I certainly don’t need to control my entire computer via voice. But there are aspects of it that sound like they could be rather useful. I mean, if you can really use natural language to do all sorts of stuff, finding things changing settings etc., without having to memorize all the stuff that goes with that in terms of keyboarding and what keystroke does work, it could be kind of nice. Anyway, please do feel free to reply off list at the address I will put right here. I guess I’m looking for Star Trek. Smile.
