I learned on a braille keyboard, but I'm so l33t now that I don't need one. I've just memorizd where all the keys are relative to the "standard" asdfjkl; finger placement.

Couldn't tell you. I've never used any. Because I have an instinctual distrust of those programs. I've never needed them, and I can't honestly see them working that well. And they only work for one person at a atime, there's this totorial thing they have you do where you read certain paragraphs into the microphone so that it will match your voice type--so even rednecks can use it! Hurrah~! Anyway, I think the very second post on my LJ has an amusing litle tidbit from what one of those programs copied down from a conversation three of us were havingfrom all away across the room. We forgot it was on. Holy shit, I just realized that that would be the best snooping device EVER. Just put up microphones on computers and turn the monitors off, no one will have any idea they are being transcribed. GENIUS!
