There may be specialized software for stroke patients. I have read that Nintendo Wii has applications for stroke rehab. If your husband has a speech therapist, ask that person about software or check with companies or whatever the nation speech therapists professional organization is. There is more good stuff out there all the time. maybe some company would let your husband help to improve their software. You don't know if you don't ask. I'd check with Microsoft, too. Good luck!

It can "Learn" words and phrases as they are spoken by the user. It takes time to train the software, but it is reasonably accurate once it learns your voice.

Personally, I'd go with the ifrog. it is a less expensive option and I think maybe a more productive one. Dragon Software makes decent voice-rec software called Naturally speaking.
