    you mean, a way to get text on the screen without typing [ ;)]

    there are several speech to text programs out there, the most mature is one called Dragon NaturalSpeak, it's at version 8 now. Here's a link to the product price comparison with links to merchants selling it:

    you actually need a good microphone and system performance for this software.

    Even MS office has it built in. Search in help for speech to text.
