I have just found out that I can speak my text instead of typing it. It's great for them days when the tremor is bad and it's hard to press the keys on the phone.

What program do you use and how accurate is it?

It's built into the phone keyboard. The only thing you have to do is check the spelling and do the punctuations, otherwise I find it pretty accurate.

Been doing this for years now. From experience...always read your message before sending! The phone doesn't always get it right and it can get pretty embarrassing sometimes.

I love it. If anyone has an iphone when you're looking at the wee keyboard there's an icon that looks like a microphone on the bottom row. Click it and speak, just make sure you read what you said afterwards, with my accent I sometimes have to make manual changes. Super handy

it works well except the times when my brain is mushed and affecting my alliteration and articulation.

yes and also if you have iphone the predictive text when you're writing is great. It knows what you want and gives you a choice of words when you're typing. Amazing
