Hi Justin-
In order to use Voice Recognition software you'll have to spend some
time training it to recognize how you speak.
During this setup phase, you will be able to add words to the programs
dictionary. You might want to get hold of a glossary and read it in to
bring it up to speed a little faster.
Some of the programs have additional technical dictionaries available.

Our choicest plans
have fallen through
our airiest castles
tumbled over
because of lines
we neatly drew
and later neatly
stumbled over.
