Hello,

You are looking for speech recognition software, or more specifically
speech recognition for dictation.  Dragon Dictate is an example.
ViaVoice is another - which includes text to speech as well as
speech to text.

However my own dyslexic children use MS Word for writing, because it
has good spelling correction facilities.  Then they can use WordAloud
to read the text back, to check they've got the right meaning.
You can get a free evaluation copy from our website: www.cloudworld.co.uk.
(The product is only $44.95.)

Cheers from Chiswick,

John
