Also, there is now JDictate from Hartget Consulting (the group that makes JSay) this product has been discussed on the FSCast, but essentially if you just use Dragon for Dictation and not control of your PC, then JDictate will enable all of the panels needed for Dictation. This is on sale until I believe the 15th.
Take care,
Jonathan Cohn

Hi Ana, and all,
You can find the Dragon Naturally Speaking program
for under $100 on Amazon, quite often. On this
deal at the link below, it's normally $99, but
it's selling right now for $48.22.

Dragon is the one I'd get if I was going to be
doing a lot of this from now on.
Strive On!
Everett
