Dean, 

I did not know Windows 7 had built-in speech recognition.  Where do I find
it?  I still hate 7 but that might make up for some of it's bad points.

A competent screen reader user can use Dragon Naturally Speaking without
J-Say for dictation purposes, but it takes effort, and you won't be able to
access JAWS commands via dictation.  Remember that windows 7 and windows
Vista have built-in speech recognition that is good as well and is free.

Most people who use speech input, and who are blind use JAWS and Dragon
Naturally Speaking with an add-on called JSAY.  This program acts as a
bridge between the two, it can be difficult to use speech input and speech
output together.  JSAY isn't cheap, and unless you have problems typing, it
probably isn't worth the effort and expense.
