specializing in products for dyslexics, and they have experience with
both text to speech and speech recognition products of many flavors,
including Dragon products. They seem to have a generally helpful
attitude so if you contact them, they may be happy to give you advice.
By the way, in reference to a previous topic, they sell the Talk Mic
and take Visa.
