Sounds like a great and viable solution. Is it available online? Where do we get it? How much is it? ---

Found it online. It comes at a onetime cost of $150.00. I can’t tell if that is USD or CDND or other? maybe I wouldn’t know unless I made a complete purchase. It is available for digital (online) download no physical disk necessary, and works on android or IOS. Great for home use. I myself might have difficulty with it as my speech is not great, however, others may find it a useful tool. Alexa (my computerized voice command home assistant) has a hard time to understand me sometimes! LOL. ---

It’s available online or at most business supplies stores. It’s about $300 for the professional edition but it’s worth it. It will run all of your software programs by voice. Good luck. ---

It’s very powerful software. It will learn your speech peculiarities and you will train it to recognize your speech. ---

I also have Alexa and I trained “her” to understand my voice. As I recall, there’s a place in the Alexa app on your phone that lets you do that. Take a look through the settings on the phone. I’ll take a look and if I find it I’ll edit this post. EDIT: [https://www.imore.com/how-train-your-amazon-echo-recognize-your-voice](https://www.imore.com/how-train-your-amazon-echo-recognize-your-voice) You also might be able to do it this way: Say, “Alexa, learn my voice.” ---

Thank you! She understands me better! ---

Have a Chinese Chop made to use. Its a stamp with a character on it. I’m sure it can be legal but don’t know the specifics. My boss used to use a stamp all the time and as a RE Broker I arrange digital signatures that are nothing more than print and do bind people to contracts. Also smart phones have voice recognition for both text and I believe email built in. Skip the computer and use voice. Google voice also translates voice mail messages and will send the text to you as an email or text message. Google voice is free. Just call your google voice phone # and talk a message in, then forward to whoever once its translated and sent to you. ---

Also I’m a big advocate of video games. Try xbox Rocket League. Its great fun and has really challenged my reflexes, vision, coordination and self image around what older people can and cannot do! [Previous page](https://forum.livingwithataxia.org/t/writing-my-name/7206.md?page=1)
