Hi Sandy,

I know the one your talking about, I even got the mic for it, can it send your recorded message as text in an email or for a report or stuff like that. I will probably get more use out it when I go back to work, driving in every morning, it will be safely connected to those head phones, pull over click on the icon and off I go, I can them send it to myself as text when I arrive in. I wouldn't drive dangerously with it we all have too many horror stories. I might never have caused an accident in my many years driving and I'm not going to start now!

Enjoy your day, although you're probably still sleeping

All the best

My office computer [ this one at home also ] have MS 7 operating suite which includes a wonderful speech recognition software for dictation. My office is all MS Office set up for all the workers, so I obtained and plugged a good quality wireless mic to the computer, spent 2 1/2 hours on the tutorials even repeating them, to verifty the computer was learning my speech rhythms and waves, and away I went. Friday, for instance, I was able to kick out 5 contracts [I practice law] and communicate via myriad emails all dictated from me to computer, and the correction engine is fantastic. I was going to go the expense of dragon, but found it unnecessary.

Regarding te buzz, I have assuredly become accustomed to it, and my career zoomed off again specifically due to gaining the benefit of the SCS implant. Both Coral Toe and I are semit unique in the world, as we were allowed to actually program our units under the watchful gaze of the rep. I have never needed a tweak or revision surgery for my waist down nervous system issues due to an awful rearender on I-70 by a full speed fella who was not controlling his car when traffice ground to a halt. 20 surgeries later, I am even about to be sworn in to practice in New York, as I have client matters there, so an air flight from Colorado to NY to set things aright once I am sworn.

Life CAN be better with the stim. It has been a fantastic result for me, so I am on the end of the continuum who is assuredly blessed with it, while there are those who have problems very serious with it on the other end of the continuum, and a complete smattering of different results from one end of the scale to the other.

One thing for sure,
I am praying for you Kristy,
Agape,

Hi Mark,

I was wondering how you were coping with your arm problems and I'm happy and not surprised you got this software especially if you can't type for whatever reason. On the other hand I'm a trained typist and can probably type as fast as I can speak, I've been out of practice these last few months but hey it's like riding a bike and I hope the same can be said for driving as I haven't driven far since I finished work last October! What is the name of the software you have, can you remember?

Sworn in New York hey well done you, maybe Ireland and the UK will be next, we might speak English but in terms of language now that is very different and pompous. Wigs, gowns and all... A big pile of BS that's unnecessary if you ask me.
You know Mark, you amaze me so much with your strength and your courage, after what 20 surgeries, did you never say at any time no enough is enough? I know I certainly I couldn't do that many surgeries but I don't mind the injections or even the Rhizotom. I can't even remember how many I've had over the last 6 years. Maybe if they were available in 1995 things might have turned out differently but seriously, coulda, woulda, shoulda huh! I'm sure Cleo and your family have helped you through all of those heartaches, difficult decisions and the sheer worry, the same way my Pauli and both our families have helped us. It's tough but we are a very strong bunch of people on this site, too many to mention and we all help and advise each other in ways we might never imagine.

Later alligators or until the fat lady sings!
