With my dad's vision and reading problems following his stroke, we bought him a laptop and Dragon Speak. We had a contact within the company, so someone actually came out to help him get it set up to work as well as possible for him. I should ask him or my mom how well it has been working. I've heard no complaints, but haven't asked directly about it. But it seems like it's done the trick, which was to allow him to go ahead with his retirement plan of continuing to author and edit language text books. That was the most terrifying aspect about all that, that he might have lost the ability to continue that. There's a lot of give and take with most technological advances (solves one problem only to create another), but this one was definitely a godsend for him.
