Think about the amount of typing you do in the course of a normal day at the computer. You might start the day by answering several e-mail messages, then move on to letters you need to write, followed by the report your boss wants in three days. That can add up to an awful lot of time spent on typing. Things get worse if you need to juggle reference materials and make formatting changes. Using speech-recognition software, you can do most, if not all, of these typing tasks by dictation.

Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional is the oldest, the most reliable voice recognition software you can turn to. It is available in several versions to fit your requirement.

 Keyboard trays play an essential part of any ergonomically - optimized workstation. Some higher-end models include an integrated mouse tray - a good feature to look for. Other trays only allow the keyboard to be angled downwards (negative slope) - these are recommended for they improve wrist posture. Some keyboard trays allow the keyboard to be angled upwards or downwards (positive or negative slope) - these are only recommended if users are taught to angle the keyboard tray slightly downwards. In addition, there are lap-held keyboard trays, which may be helpful for people whose short desk depth would otherwise force their monitor to be positioned too close. Since these trays aren't attached to a desk, users can vary their distance from their workstation to help maintain the proper ergonomic viewing distance.
