I suggest that you have a look at the comparison document on our web site
at http://www.dyslexic.com/dictcomp.htm and the descriptions at
http://www.dyslexic.com/ddkzinfo.htm. (Actually, I'll send you a copy to
save your the trouble) If your student wants to avoid manipulating mouse or
keyboard at all then he needs full voice control and the answer is then
probably Dragon Dictate V 3.00. If he wants continuous speech, rather than
separated-words-like-this (discrete speech), and he has a powerful enough
computer then he might want Dragon Naturally Speaking Deluxe, which
includes Dragon V 3.00 to do the voice control.
