I have a disability that severely limits my ability to use the
keypad.
What level of keypad entry is required with the latest version of
dragon? What percentage is the least about someone could expect? 10%?
20%?

What is the experience of the group?

I'm honestly not sure. The latest version of Dragon has gotten some
great reviews, but it's not like it's a whole new world of technology.
There is a 'training' period when you first use the software that will
require you to make manual corrections with the keyboard. Beyond this,
it can vary a lot from person to person.

Well, it's about 5 years since I last used Dragon. I have a Mac, these
days, and use a program called iListen to cover similar problems.

I can't remember how you have to train Dragon, but, once trained, I
didn't have to use the keyboard, or the mouse, very much at all. It
takes a bit of time to get used to voice input because the training is
very much two way. It has to get used to you and you have to get used to
using it. Once you've got through that life is much easier, believe me.
