If by were you I'd check out the DragonDictate speech recognition
system.  It allows a user to enter text into a computer in a totally
hands free environment.  It uses a large vocabulary of 30,000 words
with an 80,000 word Random House Dictionary on line at all times.  The
system is speaker dependant and the speaker must have a slight pause
between each utterance.  The DragonDictate runs on a MS-DOS 386 based
machine with at least 8 megabytes of RAM.  Unfortunately, the system
costs $9,000 but it is state of the art and as they say you get what
you pay for.  If you want more information I can give it to you.
Frank.
