[Athen] Dragon NS and Math/Engineering

[Wink Harner]

Hi Everyone,

There is a great combo program called Math Talk with Scientific Notebook
which will do a dandy job (easy to learn/train) which works with Dragon.
Goes all the way from simple math through physics.

If you need more info, please contact me.

Blessings,

>Hello, I am currently working with a student at Colorado State

>University who experienced a spinal cord injury and is now at an

>incomplete C5-C6 level. He is using Dragon right now for all his

>computing needs, although he can successfully manipulate a trackball

>mouse which helps. His main issue is that he is an engineering student

>and is looking for a program that interfaces well with Dragon but will

>allow him to dictate math and engineering lingo he needs. I am not too

>familiar with the engineering aspect so wanted to query all of you to

>see if anyone has experienced a similar situation and has any advice as

>to math or engineering programs that would interface well with Dragon.

>I've looked up and have demo Cds of mathtalk by metroplex but the
