Anyone have any experience with "Dragon Naturally Speaking" for W2K? My
brother is blind and I am trying to find out if this may help him to use
a
computer.

tia,
dc



"Dragon" may of course to used to read text...
but may not be of much help for actually using the computer.

Although Win2k is a good operating system...
a newer OS such as XP or Vista probably have more "accessibility
options."..which would
help one actually use the computer itself
