This is a separate follow up to the suggestion of using a voice activated software such as "Dragon."

I know you had no way of knowing this but here it is straight up and possibly you guys could give me some suggestions and insight.

Since the stroke and even worse now, I have extreme difficulty expressing myself due to the challenging process of getting my thoughts straight then getting it out verbally. I don't know the name for it, Aphasia or something like that? To me, I sound like the stereotypical "retard" trying to talk. Wrong words come out vs. what I am thinking or mean. Since the stroke I also seem to spontaneously say "*****," "crap," and a few others. Speech is very halting, distorted, and with bad pronunciation.

Having gotten that out, can a software really learn to overcome these challenges? If so, I would be utterly amazed.

Thanks for the suggestions.
