Re: can i let word do all the typing while i just speak over a mike?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

My suggestion would be Dragon Naturally Speaking.

The "Dictation" Bob refers to works ONLY in the American language (i.e. You
have to set your text and system languages to US English or it won't run,
and you have to have an American accent or it won't work...)

Cheers
