Thanks guys. Never even crossed my mind to look at what was included in Windows 10 so I really appreciate that.
First thing I guess to purchase is a microphone, judging by what Ive just researched elsewhere, a headset is most recommended.
Even though Ive been on the Interwebs for a loooong time, Ive never personally used webcams etc. I guess Im old school and have stuck to text which has obviously become a lot more difficult of late.
I hate to sound like I'm moaning but this mornings posts and seeing time stamps really brought it home to me how long it took me to do very simple posts that didn't even need me to look at anything in detail took, and why I couldnt accomplish very much... and also why after just a few hours at the PC has knock on effects too. I'm a bit stubborn - or should I say independent - and don't like giving in. It was bad enough that I conceded to having to get an automatic car. I think the NHS waiting is getting to me now realising that things are getting worse, despite the original referral being 6 months ago. I think I was hoping there would be a quick fix and things would be better by now, but obviously not. Anyhow moan over.
I do need to look at some sort of speech recognition. My Echo has made simple things like shopping/lists/reminders/simple googles so much easier, that perhaps trying to be stubborn isn't always a good idea. I have a PM that someone kindly sent me too which I shall respond too. However I'm now a bit typed out but will definitely look into this in more detail.
