I'm currently about to start setting it up for a client. Ask me again in a
few weeks at the e-mail address below. I'll let you know how things are
going. I've heard it works quite well but that it can take between 6 months
and one year to really get working comfortably with it.

I would recommend Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional - it has a lot of
macro capabilities to automate tasks.
The only question (which I'm not sure of the answer) is whether it will work
with non-Windows based programs.
(If that's what you're using for programming).
I would suggest visiting their website and sending them an email.

Hope it helps!

Hi EASI list,
Has anyone have advise for or experience with the following?:
I am a webmaster over in Space Science
and Engineering Center - SSEC (I believe we have met), and lately I have
been having problems with typing due to overstrained forearm muscles.
So,
I have started considering using voice recognition software to
supplement
keyboard use, so that I can give my forearms a chance to fully heal, and
to possibly use permanently as this current problem has made me
aware of the potential pitfalls of my job.
So, to make a long story short, do you have any advice on what voice
recognition
software is the best (i.e. IBM Via Voice, Dragon Naturally Speaking
...), and whether
something like this would work in my type of job (i.e. using
Dreamweaver, UNIX
command line, lots of programming by hand in HTML, Perl, JavaScript
...)? I have
done some research and I am aware that training this software to be
reasonably good
at recognizing my voice will take some time, and that it will probably
never be as fast
as typing (especially for programming which involves a lot of non-word,
programming language dependent letter groupings and made-up variable
names). Anyway, any
advice on this would be helpful. Thanks.
