Fran - Thanks for popping in.  I don't need Bliss symbols. Hearing
people can generally understand my speech well enough, and when I
am with deaf people either an interpreter or a typewriter is
usually available. The communications problem that frustrates me is
my 10 wpm typing speed. CP plus tunnel carpel slows me down.  I
would like to buy Dragon Dictate so I can talk to my computer.
Unfortunately, while my articulation would be acceptable to Dragon
Dictate, my volume is not. If you know of anyway that Dragon
Dictate can accept an amplified whisper, let me know.

I posed the question to the manufacturer with no response yet.

Do you have any suggestions?
