    I was considering getting a quality headset/mike and on of these "speech recognition" software to increase my writing speed.

    Any recommendations?

    It's something I've been wondering about. My father got some of the earlier software a couple of years ago and went from being taciturn to sending out frequent and long emails. He certainly recommends it, but he's not a content writer.

    Yes, I use it for when I write articles or papers for school. I have a mac and the mac version of speech recognition has worked fine for me.

    I haven't tried using it before. Speech recognition programs tend to have a terrible time with my voice and accent, and I'd be a little wary of proper grammar/spelling/homonym issues. Still, I might test it out sometime on my friend's computer, since I know she's getting it installed. :)
