Dunno about dictation software but in the meantime you can keep your physical interaction to a minimum using the speech recognition features in the Speech settings of System Preferences. Basic stuff like opening a new mail, switching to the finder and such can be done via spoken words. It's baked into the OS so give it a whirl. Hopefully somebody else has suggestions for the dictation software.
