Voice recognition software for keywording?

[Vincent Lowe 568]

Anyone tried using voice recognition software for keywording?

 

I'll be having surgery on my right hand in a few weeks  Fortunately I'm left-handed so using the mouse won't be a problem and I've plenty of work to catch up on.  However, keywording is going to be awkward for a bit with only one hand.

A bit slower but you do ctrl-c and v with the left hand anyway.

I went to left-mouse after a bit of carpal something-or-other and never went back. Good luck.

I've only indirect experience when a Danish mate gave it a try. We had some very amusing correspondence using it! I think it got better as it learned his delivery but he dropped it in the end.

OK thanks, I'll maybe download a trial version or two and give it a whirl.

There's voice recognition built into Windows 7 but IME it's crap. Keeps making the same mistakes over and over again and never seems to learn anything.
