Re: Using voice/speech-recognition software

If the problem is that you're experiencing wrist pain using a mouse, a less
complicated way to get relief would be to start trying out trackballs and
other
types of pointing devices.... I prefer the Logitech TrackMan Marble myself,
which is a thumb-operated trackball. However, there are a herd of other
styles:
finger-operated, pens, almost anything you could imagine...

My interest in speech-recognition software has not as much to do with
dictating
text as giving commands to complete tasks otherwise handled by repetitive
mouse
clicks. (Using the keyboard is far less traumatic to my wrists than the
mouse.)
In other words, could I use this software with FrameMaker to complete this
series of commands:

Open FILE1.
Click Edit>Spelling Checker > Start Checking.
Click OK.
Click Element > Validate > Start Validating.
Click OK.
Close FILE1.
Open FILE2.
Click Start Checking.
Click OK.
Click Start Validating.
Click OK.
...
Close FILE157.
