I provide computer support for a new professor from Israel who needs  
to create Word documents using voice recognition, due to difficulties  
with typing for long periods.  He could not remember the name of the  
software he used at his previous teaching position, but the problem  
he had was training it to understand his accent.

So, the question is whether there is any software that does  
particularly well with understanding English spoken with an accent of  
any kind.  My experience with this issue is nil, so please, any help  
we can get would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
