I heard that might be a program that types your oral material on your computer. Is it true?

Yes........Dragon Naturally speaking is probably the best.

I'll check it out, thank you.

It wasn't until I read Geo's response that realized what you were talking about. At first the idea of adding "oral material" to a computer was sounding kind of weird, and kind of disgusting.

My last experience with a program like that was probably 10 years ago...can't remember the name, but it hated Southern Accents. lol

With technology now like "Siri" on iPhone and voice commands in cars through Bluetooth, I'm sure they work much much better today.

I'm not sure, but I imagine there is quite a difference between dictate, and taste

When I first tried Siri on my iPhone I thought it was pretty cool but after having to repeat and correct my texts I decided to forget it. Just didn't save any time.

I have found that if I over-enunciate everything, preferably with a British accent, Siri works great.

Windows seven and windows vista has voice recognition built in. The review below says that the dragon software works better. The free windows programis definitely worth looking at to get your feet wet. I was impressed with the Windows voice recognition software having looked at voice recognition in the past.You will likely need either a head set microphone or a hand-held microphone. To type a short note is an inconvenience to have to put a headset microphone on. I'm going to give the program another shot when I get around to buying a hand-held microphone so I can give that a try. Speaking very clearly is the key to any of these programs but if you are like me even that is easier than typing. I typed this using Dragon dictation on my iPad. I think that program is free or just a couple of bucks for the iPad or iphone.

I was also impressed with the voice recognition on the new droid phones.
