I've been kinda following this. I have a cousin who is permanently wheel chair bound and doesn't have perfect control of her hands, but still manages to use a computer and interact with society. However, the idea/thought of disabled programmers was new to me/hadn't ever occurred to me.
You say that using your hands is painful, but what about your feet? Wouldn't it be possible to rig up some kind of foot peddle for shift/caps lock? Kinda like the power peddle used with sowing machines, so the hands are free to hold fabric. I don't mean this in a condescending manor, and I apologize if you take it as such. I'm genuinely curious if you think something like this could work. The way I was envisioning it working last night (and I haven't the faintest clue how SR works, nor have I ever used SR) was that you would hit the foot peddle, which would tell the SR program to capitalize the first letter of the next word (a smart shift, basically, so you don't end up doing something like ... WONderland -or- "stocks are up 1,0))% TOday".) Possible? Stupid?
