Steve,

I have an extremely difficult time typing so I currently use Dragon
NaturallySpeaking under Windows 2000.  There used to be IBM's ViaVoice
for Linux however now in as "disappeared".  Unfortunately there is no
open-source alternative for voice dictation software that I know of.

So yes I am, "stuck" in Windows.

Thanks for your help anyway.

Todd
