including voice input, scripting and a head camera for mouse control, and an
onscreen keyboard. The Adobe products are nice because you can
use keyboard controls to do most everything. Our student uses Dragon, which is
not Mac based. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

You can pair it with a mounted switch or a sip and puff or an onscreen
