If you want speech on your computer screen, do this: dictate whatever you want to somebody who can type very quickly. have them type stuff into word or some other program. print it out. hold the printed page up to the computer screen. get the dragon or lernout program installed. tell it to look at the page staring it in the face. it should listen. hell, that's what I did.

I have Dragon but haven't installed it yet, because I'm waiting for the new CP I'll get when my office is networked this spring. I talked to several people who have it, and they all said: 1. plan to spend at least 4 hours training it to your voice first; 2. don't even try unless you have a very powerful CP; and 3. If you're using Wordperfect (which, like most lawyers, I do) it's unquestionably the best, but if you use Word, then Via Voice might be as good. I don't know about the portable unit, but I want to keep an eye on that. If it works and it saves me some of the $10-15 per hour (plus employer contributions and benefits) that I spend on typists, it'll be well worth it.
