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.
