There is a product but it's expensive.  It's called the DragonDictate 30K 
speech recognition system.  It requires a 386 with 8 megabytes of RAM.  I know 
of some people that have used the system with a speech synthesizer for voice  
output.  There is one gentlemen that is using the system that is completely  
blind with the loss of his hands in an explosion.  He is doing very well but  
you're not looking at small change for a system like that.
If you're interested please leave a message and I can get you more 
information.
Frank.
