i received a call this week from a friend whose father is losing his sight
and has never learned to type.  the man is 89, very sharp, but having
trouble with typing.
are  any of the speech to text programs good enough to allow him to use
email?  he still has some useful vision, so he can probably use screen
magnification to read, but is the technology good enough for him to be
able to speak his messages?
