Speech software

Hello!
I have had a out 9 years of little issues but recent relapse causing upper right side paralysis along with the usual gait, cognitive stuff. A new phone this week meant a wonderful speech to text option that is really helping  to not feel so isolated. Has anyone had good results with a speech to type software for use on a laptop?

We use Dragon at work for anyone who needs help in this way, seems to be pretty good and accurate enough to be used in a work environment. It attunes to your voice so once set up it gets more accurate.

A friend of mine with a rare type of ataxia uses the Dragon software ess has mentioned and emails me quite regularly.  The translation of her speech to type is exceptionally good, even for someone whose speech is not very good at all.  

Best wishes

Hi and welcome.

I remembered some discussion of this several years ago but couldn't recall the software. So I looked it up using the search icon at the top, and found several people who have used Dragon Naturally Speaking. They said it took some getting used to but overall was good. There probably is a newer and better version out there by now. Good luck with this.
