Unless you are willing to spend hours and hours training the PC to recognize your voice, forget about using Dragon

Unless you are willing to make the investment in training, forget *any* of the current generation of voice recognition software.

Also, make sure that the tool is suited to the task. Current voice recognition products at best are moderately good at dictation and light edit. They are poor at complex manipulations like spreadsheet use.

I would also suggest getting in touch with local support resources for the blind. There are no magic bullets, but there are software/hardware solutions that do a lot for reading what is on the screen, even web pages, and tools for reading printed text. If her problem is primarily sight, Dragon is not really addressing the most critical end of the problem.
