I had a buddy who lived in my same dorm in college (early 2000s) who broke both his left collarbone and right arm in a bicycle crash towards the end of one Spring semester. The University hooked him up with a copy of the Dragon speech-to-text software so that he could finish out the semester.

It was about 95% accurate, once he went through the voice/accent learning process with the program. But that last 5% meant typing essays could be frustrating. Made for some hilarious misinterpretations, though.
