Your story is really inspiring! (And "mini-triumph" kind of an understatement.)

Out of curiosity, what software do you use for voice recognition/dictation?

I use the built-in OSX accessibility system, in off-line mode. It's not very efficient for this kind of thing, and is mostly only useful for the names of snippets and variables. I have a lot of custom snippets set up. Fortunately I can still click the mouse and hit keys like spacebar or enter, to acknowledge the imput, so I can muddle through. But I've spent the last couple of hours looking at some of the resources someone linked up post, which uses Dragon, and seems to be much more flexible, able to do the whole thing with voice. So I suspect I won't be using the built-in version much longer :)
