Using Voice Recognition for Transcription

Hi,

Because typing has become increasingly difficult for me, I am thinking
of buying a voice recognition system for my computer at home so I can
dictate from dictation instead of typing from dictation, and then edit
my own work.

Are there people on this board who have had experience using VR this
way? Is there a system you prefer? Is it a comfortable way to work?
About how long did it take to get it to work for you, or did it?

Any information would be tremendously appreciated.

Thanks,

Mady
