[Rhodes22-list] Tom Horgarty about the 'dragon'

[Tootle]

You will make Michael Meltzer happy.  He has used voice since before this
forum was...

I think Bill Effros is another user of voice dictation?

My wife uses her 'Dragon'.  She has used it since about edition 3?

In fact this week I am supposed to upgrade to the latest version.  I have to
upgrade her 'Dragon' between certain classes so she has time to adjust
before she teaches a new class.  

However, if you were saying that John McCain should use 'Dragon'.  Well
'Dragon' does not suit all applications and you still have to occassionally
hit keys when using the 'Dragon'.

What he would need with his arm and hand limitations would be one of those
computers for the severly handicapped in addition to voice recognition
software.

Now if you were John McCain with his drive and ego, would you want to admit
that you needed one of those computers for the severly handicapped?  I think
it is reasonable in his case to allow him dictation to an aid and have
assistants to do things for him.

Have you noticed that he cannot unbutton his back wallet pocket?  Has that
slowed him down?  FDR did pretty good in a wheel chair.  

Here is a guy who got his handicaps in the service of his country.  Did you
serve in Viet Nam?  There are several members of this forum who did serve
over there.  Ask our tank driving Rhodie?  Ask him if John McCain's hand
limitations from war injurys are reason to comment?

I served in the military during Viet Nam.  I was an outdoors type and
willing to go army.  But with my vision only the Air Force said I could fill
a technical job.
