Is anyone here familiar with or had any experiences with voice recognition
software? Typing is becoming difficult.

Thanks

Wikipedia has a link to this tech article:

Apparently it's packaged as an option with Microsoft's Office XP suite. (I
think Office 2007 also comes with speech recognition, but that's not the one
the link is discussing).

Hopefully it is compatibile with non-Office applications...if not, you
should at least be able to dictate in MS Word, then cut and paste into other
apps, which would save you loads of keyboard work.

This is the Microsoft Windows XP Knowledge Base article about how to turn on
speech to text capabilities, OR install the XP speech engine if it is not
already installed. Hope this helps.

I am not sure if they still exist, but there are 3rd party programs such as
"Naturally Speaking" and "Via Voice" that might do the job well.

I was involved in a project about this quite awhile ago, and Dragon
was among the best. It was awfully expensive at the time (around $50K
as I remember), but now it's around $100.
