In the medical arena, I have worked with dragon product which I have found to be easy and adaptable to people with all disabilities as well as for the physicians which have used this for dictation to the EMR systems. Once the program is adapted to the individual they are able to operate this program with ease.
I use Dragon Speak. It takes some time to train the dragon but it' works. I recently got a new iMac and it has built in speech to text
Michael,
Boy, I remember when Dragon Naturally Speaking was out of the price range of most people. Thank goodness the prices have come down and many people in the "mainstream" society (elderly, etc) can use it also.

Yes… Dragon NaturallySpeaking is probably the most widely used speech to text conversion utility… And it has come way down in price in recent years… To the point where it is now available to students for anywhere from $99 $199. Thank you. Mike Crowley
Parrish,
This can be also useful for anyone in the community like my father who can't type at all!

Dragon Naturally Speaking is one speech recognition software that is used by many people with or without a disability. I had a good friend in law school who was near the top of the class and was not disabled, but couldn't type to save his life. He used this daily, and it got him through to graduation.
