mary, If you find the bluetooth keyboard is working, I'd use Voice Dream Writer since once you start, the text is automatically saved, so if you mess up, you can hopefully fix it later, since it won't just disappear on you. This all depends on being comfortable with the app and keyboard within that app. The next best option to me is borrowing the Mac air and finding out how to turn off the touchpad. I can't remember the command, but I think it is rather easy. In fact, if you can turn it off, that might be the first choice. Richard
