Dragon Naturally Speaking is dictation software that allows you to write your papers by simply speaking into a microphone. But in addition to straight dictation, Dragon also allows you to edit your work with several verbal commands, such as "delete" or "paragraph break." You can even use it to verbally operate your computer with commands such as "open document" or "send email."
