voice recognition in linux

[Jude DaShiell]

A manual typewriter keyboard which is what your friend was typing on and 
a computer keyboard are very much different in one respect at least.  
The touch for a computer keyboard is far lighter than for a manual 
typewriter.  I know, I used both and when I go to use my manual 
typewriter I have to do some practice sentences to adjust my touch to 
the manual typewriter.  Even so, I'm not giving up my manual typewriter 
since I can write with that without electricity if necessary.
