getting things done when your hands are broken
esj | Apr 22 2006
all of this emphasis on writing down notes on note cards etc. is great unless your hands don't work right. Most of the notes I have in my writing notebook are illegible and are lost to me because the scribbles no longer trigger a memory of what I was writing. So, how does one use these simple techniques when your hands are damaged and writing is impractical. By the way, how I use computers is with speech recognition with all of its attendant problems. 15 Comments

Can you recommend any of these speech-recognition softwares to me? I have been investigating this for work, specifically software that can create a text file from a digital recording of speech. Dare I dream? It's theoretically possible but that have not been many advances made in this arena for quite awhile. Unfortunately ScanSoft drove away the researchers necessary to solve these problems and they are barely maintaining the product. NaturallySpeaking is the best product out there today. Microsoft has something coming out in this the which may be halfway decent. Unfortunately, it would mean you have to buy into the "Microsoft controls the end-user" model. But since vista is perpetually delayed, this means you have to use NaturallySpeaking if you want to use speech-recognition. » POSTED IN:
