speech recognition software

In the spring of 2002 I started working with Dragon NaturallySpeaking professional solutions. After some training time I was able to literally work handsfree and nowadays I always dictate my translations.

speech-enabling your favourite applications
DNS works with virtually all Windows-based applications. You can dictate text and use voice commands to let DNS take some action other than typing the words you just spoke. The professional edition allows you to create your own voice commands and this can be very important, because it facilitates working with applications like WordFast and TransSuite. I will try to give you more specific information about this in the future.
system requirements
For optimal performance in combination with other applications running on your system, Scansoft recommends an Intel Pentium III / 500 MHz processor (or equivalent AMD processor) or faster and 256 MB RAM. Personally I would advise you not to economise on RAM.
You will also need a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 or equivalent sound card and a noise-cancelling headset microphone. If your sound card does not meet the requirements, you can also opt for a USB headset. These kind of head sets provide high fidelity, digital quality sound input without the need for a sound card.
