Hi, There's a program called J-Say that works with dragon and naturally speaking. Go to your Jaws resources on the web within the help menu, and you will find this on one of the links. James PS: welcome to the list.

I've been using Jaws for over 25 years and now want to add dictation software into the picture, so to speak. I live in western Ma, have been a guide dog user since the late 80's, I have been a masseuse for 25 years, and now have wicked carpal tunnel which I am headed to surgery for, and that is now making me look into setting up my new computer with dictation software of one sort or another. One thing missing is how to find out about tech fairs that include demonstrations of assistive technology products from the various developers. I heard that I just missed a fair 20 minutes down the road from me because I have not been tuned into any newsletter or list that informs me of any of that. I was on FS's site and didn't se anything pertaining to upcoming presentations of their products anywhere, other than at the July NFB conference. I suppose announcements of this sort are left to local vendors of Jaws (and others) products to advertise. If there is anyone on list in western Massachusetts, let's say in the Springfield area, can you point me to a place where such tech fairs would be advertised? I downloaded the iblink app on my iPhone and am able to listen to a number of good podcasts on various products for the blind. FS has it's podcast listed there. Still it appears as if some of the most popular ones are missing from iblink radio. If anyone can suggest podcasts that are not to be missed in terms of keeping someone up to date with Windows 8 and up, demos of dictation software, new versions of Jaws, I'd appreciate it. I don't know of many assistive technology people in my area but they exist. We used to or maybe still have Adaptive Technologies and New England Low Vision out east of me but there must be people closer in that I could speak to, and who could demo some set ups for me.
