I'm interested in trying some out, such as DragonSystems Naturally Speaking or IBM ViaVoice... but I can't find a demo or trial version. I've never touched upon software of this type, and all in all, I'd just like to try it out. Can anyone suggest some other programs that may be out there to download, that would allow me to talk, and it types into say, MS Word?

I would not recommend ViaVoice. Dragon and Lernout and Hauspie (sp?) are the best. Their recent versions have a 15 minute setup. That's down from 3 hours. As for a trial...

No demo for Dragon. I have both and have used them sparingly. They work great and learn quickly. i have only used the Pro versions though. I like them both. They really beat out ViaVoice, in my opinion.
