I am also impressed by the advances in technology. 20 years ago, I had severe RSI problems and worked on "vx-mode", a package for interfacing XEmacs to Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the best speech-recognition solution available at the time. My goals were similar, although the result was nowhere near what the OP has done. Also, speech recognition tech was nowhere near what we have now: I still remember buying good microphones, worrying about microphone placement relative to mouth, endless training and re-training…
This kind of software can make a huge difference for many people.
Perhaps not for a blind person, but for anyone with RSI or other hand/wrist impairments, this can make a huge difference. I speak from experience, having used dictation to work around RSI issues.
