Voice Recognition For The Visually Handicapped?

MrIcee asks: "I was recently contacted by an individual who is extremely visually impaired. He wishes to be able to user voice recognition in his PC to dictate letters and to control his web browser and other software. In examining the available software (such as Naturally Speaking, etc) all of them require a fairly involved training session. The problem with training is that they tend to display paragraphs for him to read - but he is unable to see the words clearly enough and fast enough for proper training (even though he can use JAWS for reading screen text). I have seen references to Kurzweil VOICE software, but it seems dated and there is no good indication that it will work as promised. Does anyone out there have experience in voice recognition software that requires minimal or no training?"
