Best answer, easy 10 points: Help me find best computer to use w/ speech recognition/hands-free technology? Best answer = easy 10 points. Hi everyone : ) I have many severe conditions, incl., quickly-advancing Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia as well as also a vocal cord and breathing disorder, so I really *do* need help finding a computer with speech recognition/hands free computing software to buy to help minimize the pain. I’ve been searching for months, I’m stymied and appreciate your help immensely. For the best answer I’m offering 10 points : ) Here’s the Wiki to bring all up to speed on this kind of software: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition (A tiny background, my exp. w/ Dragon Beta on a Sony laptop long about 10 yrs ago—horrible! It didn’t work. It couldn’t understand me, but typed *pages* when the dog barked, lol! The computer was PAINFULLY SLOW AND COMPLETELY INACCURATE and had “ghosts”—multi images of programs overlapping and none of the working : ) ) As such, I’m thinking a high-performance, possibly gaming computer, might overcome what was lacking before, most likely a desktop...although, I’ve NO gaming aspirations, too painful. I do enjoy photography, browsing the internet and listening to music (maybe transferring my LPs to MP3s) though (I’ve heard buying an external hard drive for this might be the best way to go for computer efficiency, what do you think? All in all, I’m hoping that *you know best*! : ) Because I’ve had to scrimp and save for well over 5-6 yrs (plus family help,) *this computer MUST last as long as absolutely possible*, b/c it will take longer than that to afford another. The Guidelines: Replies *only* from people who are severely handicapped with hand/arm disabilities and *must* use such a program themselves or other severely disabled persons, Esp. persons who have the above disorders, as well as equally limiting disabilities pertaining, esp. to the hands, arms and voice who REQUIRE voice-recognition typing programs *or* persons having, long-standing, *verifiable*, personal experience REQUIRING THEM to use a voice or speech-driven voice command/typing programs on a computer (for ex: maybe you’re a dyslexic doctor or something, that would be great, since I, too, have a special vocabulary it needs to understand.) Sounds harsh, sorry about that, but I need an answer from someone with an intimate and detailed knowledge of this software and how it works with computers. The Entire High Performance Computer System *MUST* COST LESS THAN $1200 (the more under cost you come, while still fulfilling *all* needs = best chance you’ll win.) Must have *amazingly* good reasons to go even a few hundred above (see above re: scrimping & saving.) The ENTIRE system *must* come from a highly reputable company (be COMPLETE and ready “out of the box”, no customizing, *monitor* MUST come *with* the entire computer pkg.) and must contain (but not be limited to...) Hardware: Dual to Quad core processors, 19” monitor INCLUDED, 4GB DDR2 memory (minimum), 320GB(minimum) hard drive, reads and writes all forms of media, including dual-layer CDs and DVDs, high-end GPU (preferably dedicated on a video card) to handle rapid text/commands, have also heard Direct X10 + may be useful in multimedia capabilities. Monitor doubles as digital t.v.*at no additional cost* with *no* additional software required (opt. the ability to also record t.v.) Please, *no* wireless mice or keyboards (I hear they eat through batteries,) as well as the usual, quality speakers, great USB and other ports, like memory card reader, etc; webcam nice but not essential, same w/ printer. PREFERENCE TO PCs. Very positive experiences with Gateways (haven’t tried voice software on them, though,) as noted above, Quite negative exp. w/ Sony. Absolutely NO DELLS! Software: FULL VOICE-RECOGNITION/TYPING/NAVIGATION SOFTWARE ALREADY INSTALLED, READY TO GO; Windows Vista Home Premium, *MUST* have complete versions of software,*no test versions* of anything! Otherwise, I’m open-minded & have access to XP programs. IT/Technical Support: None of this, “We don’t support third-party software” business, even though the computer company has the software already installed out of the box. Essential that it’s really good, intelligent people who know all aspects of the product (esp. voice software) and provide Service and Tech Support for as long as possible that make a computer worth buying.(a company that doesn’t stand behind it’s product is worthless.) Without Support and Service, I might as well be buying an *extremely expensive*, ire-invoking paperweight, which I won’t do.) (Dragon/Nuance software’s tech calls were once a minimum of $30 or more each---I’m not going for that again in any way, shape or form (sorry to sound harsh, but to beat all, at the time, they hadn’t even *answers*! For that kind of money.) Alright, so that’s as much as I know about computers and what I really need : ) I know their are others out there (hopefully some of you) who are much more knowledgeable, both about real Give me a minute to make this more succinct... The Guidelines: Replies *only* from people who are severely handicapped with hand/arm disabilities and *must* use speech recognition type/command programs themselves or have equally limiting disabilities who REQUIRE voice-recognition typing programs. ALL OTHERS: MUST have verifiable, *extensive*, *intimate* knowledge USING such software REGULARLY, *particularly* how *exactly* it works and what it requires of computers. The Entire High Performance Computer System from HIGHLY REPUTABLE COMPANY *MUST* COST LESS THAN $1200 (Good reasons? I might spend more.) PCs Preferred. Positive exp. w/ Gateways (have not tried such software on them, however) No Sonys, NO DELLs. ENTIRE system *must* be COMPLETE and ready “out of the box”, no customizing. next... Hardware: Dual to Quad core processors, 19” monitor INCLUDED, 4GB-5GB memory, 320GB-750GB hard drive, reads and writes all forms of media, including dual-layer CDs and DVDs, high-end GPU (preferably dedicated on a video card) to handle rapid text/commands, possible Direct X10 may be useful in multimedia capabilities. Monitor *MUST COME WITH COMPUTER* and double as digital t.v.*at no additional cost* with *no* additional software required, opt. the ability to also record t.v. 19” screen *minimum* SHARP resolution, deep color saturation. NOTHING WIRELESS. Quality speakers, multiple memory reader a *plus*, quality speakers, webcam—nice; printer, optional. Software: FULL VOICE-RECOGNITION/TYPING/NAVIGATION SOFTWARE ALREADY INSTALLED, READY TO GO; Windows Vista Home Premium, *MUST* have complete versions of software,*no test versions*! (If Dragon recommended, must come under total cost.) next... IT/Technical Support: Essential, Intelligent and FREE. Must support 3rd party software that *they* installed by default. MUST—in-depth knowledge of speech-recognition software. *Computer MUST last as long as absolutely possible*

If Hannity, Rush,Laura and Levin are so smart, why do they keep saying this? Over and over again, I hear them saying that we need to rely on the private sector for job creation when the whole anatomy of the "private sector" has changed? The emergence of large chain stores like Wall-Mart,Sam's,Loew's,ect.,have been the source of many small businesses to close. The emergence and rapid advancement of electronic personal devices that do so much now, have cost people a ton of jobs. Newspapers are shutting down, Post Offices are closing. And can anyone tell me what defines a "small business"? You can't because there is no official number or size established. And further more, the richest people in the United States now have the highest percentage of all money by some 7 percent over the last 10 years. That's a lot of money. Additionally,more people do not have the old school mentality to re-invest in society in the form of job creation. Regardless of what Limbaugh and company say, I disagree, greed is bad and it has affected job creation in the private sector immensely. The size of the average home increased ridiculously in the last 25 years. A couple and 2 kids in a 12 room house...that's not overkill? And seriously people...does anyone have any idea how many "private" companies depend on Government to survive? Lockheed Martin...URS Corporation...Jacobs Engineering Group...Boeing...Raytheon...Hewlitt Packard...Dell Computer Co..... and the list goes on....and on. I am sorry, but it is sad that people like Rush and Hannity have so many buying in on their nonsense. How many of you really think the way we looked at the private sector 50 years ago can be applied to 2010?
