This is important if people want to collect resources and topics can save them in their favorites folders.  I actually left an active forums on the Internet I was heavily involved in, because this was eliminated.  The extra keyboard work and the pain involved because of my disability made it not worth the time if I have to relabel every single bookmark/favorite.

Thanks again.

 I googled "print screen" and found the snipping tool feature, had a quick little discussion with my computer -- I use XP on my desktop -- went one desk over to my wife's machine with Vista, and had an ah-ha! moment.

So thank you for the opportunity your forum gives us.  Sometimes we just have to talk through things in our own minds and come up with answers ourselves.  Wouldn't have learned this if I hadn't seen your post and then went on a field trip to learn the answer.

Thanks again.

Lunis - you entered the above in a recent post.  I copied-and-pasted to put it here.  I'm putting together a seminar and hope to use similar screen shots.  Put simply, how do you do this?  I've not seen the highlighting and the red editing before.

Additionally, consider resources on the state and local level. Many states have Vocational Rehabilitation offices that can and will provide these services. Also, every state I have lived in offered an "assistive technology loan" program. For instance, they'd buy you a computer and Dragon and you'd pay them back at a very favorable interest rate. Say, 3%. This can also be useful if you're considering things like wheelchairs, ramps, home modifications and adapted vehicles.

The VA is a fantastic organization and they do great work. The advantage to working with alternative resources is simply that they're smaller. With less customers to serve, you're likely to get what you need quicker. But I'm not trying to disparage the VA. Like Chuck said, even if they're too swamped to help you they'll be able to give you good information.

Lastly, come back here when you do get Dragon. Through an incredibly generous business practice, KnowBrainer software (a third-party command tool that adds additional commands - and the ability to create your own!) to Dragon, is free to the physically disabled.

If you need assistance, let me know.  I'm thoroughly familiar with the VA and its resources.  Note also that if it is a combat injury, you have more resources available to you under the VA rehabilitation programs.  Even if it's simply a service-connected disability but not a combat injury, there are still resources available to you through the VA.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.  Talent, will not.  Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.  Genius, will not.  Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.  Education, will not.  The world is full of educated derelicts.  Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.  The slogan "Press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.  - Calvin Coolidge

for what it's worth, it was a military injury, and I qualify as a disabled vet.

Thanks!

I just want to join in the party; my hands are pretty useless, and my brain is getting feeble, but I've seen an iPhone and I want one (or something like it!).

Why does the number therefore remain at 3890?

You would need at least DNS Preferred version or the latest DNS11 premium when it becomes available.

 I have recently implemented a product which used Dragon Naturally speaking  for front end dictation.  The vendor is a "value add" reseller of Dragon.

One of the doctors who uses the software tried recording into a small voice memo recorder, and then played it back into the microphone, with some success.  I'm sure that it isn't going to give you the results that talking onto a mic will, but if you have a cheap way of trying it out (ie, you already own some speach recognition software), I'd encourage you to just try it out on a note or two and see if the results are acceptable.

Also, let us know how it goes
