The newsgroup, sci.med.occupational (rather than comp.speech), seems to have 
more items relevant to hand injuries.  Check out the FAQ when it comes by.  I 
have been investigating speech recognition systems for quite a while, and have 
concluded that there are only two companies with large vocabulary (for 
dictation) systems:

Dragon 
Systems
1-800-825-5897

Kurzweil Applied Intelligence
1-617-893-6525

IBM has a system as well, but it's based on Dragon Systems.  They 
recently announced a new product that does continuous speech recognition that 
may be their own technology, but seems to have a smaller (1,000 words) 
vocabulary. There are other voice systems on the market, but are generally 
limited in vocabulary.  These are referred to as "Command and Control" systems.

Your company should pay for one of these systems -- check out the American 
Disabilities Act.  Good luck!
