had shoulder surgery this morning and spent most of afternoon playing with vista sr. nuts that i couldn’t get dictation to work well in thunderbird, even with allow everywhere, as mentioned above.

but i have no use of right arm for awhile so will be using notepad to dictate to, then copy paste to thunderbird email. it does really well with SHOW NUMBERS, was able to train it to GET MAIL, SEND, INSERT, OPEN EMAILS, REPLY, COMPOSE. so after awhile i didn’t have to say show numbers.

got pretty good navigating around desktop. will help some in the next 8 or so weeks.

I hate to acknowledge the fact that we are all getting older, but your #2 is an important reality.

Obviously, I don't disagree with you. That said, there are a few obvious reasons why I want it to work, and why I will continue to play with it (now more aggressively than I used to!).

1) There are times when I have no hands free, or just one, but I'm available to type an email or respond to an IM. Perfect application for this.

2) I can imagine a time when I am injured, or have advanced arthritis, etc., where it could absolutely be a godsend. While I could start then, being comfortable with the process, commands, limitations, workarounds, etc., would make the transition easier.

3) Perhaps the most practical one is faster dictation. I type pretty darn fast, and reasonably accurate too. But, I can certainly speak faster than I can type. If the computer could understand it as well as my current typing skills, that would be a huge win for long documents or emails.

This is the use case where I think voice could be workable and cool. Google Voice Search on the iPhone is already pretty impressive. I could see it being nice to be able to speak since the keyboard options are limited by size.

Plus, it doesn't feel odd to talk into a phone. It's natural.
