No craig, the dragon speak and others like it will be useless as you have to train them for your voice and you have to have a pretty steady "sound" to it. In other words you have to say the same word the same way each time.

A while back, at the neuro office, there was a pamphlet for people with speech issues such as from Parkinsons. (sounds similar to yours) Call the support group in your area for parkinsons and see if they know about this program.

I think that the above will be much more useful. Sorry to rain on the parade with the dragon type programs, but hate to see you waste the money on them. The good programs go 140ish on average. Not cheap, albeit great tools if you can use them.
