My friend who had done his degree project using voice recognition software recommended Dragon software. It can be found here: nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/products/pr... It is quite accurate although you have to pay for it. You should at least try the demo version which can be downloaded from the website first before you buy so that you won't be caught by surprise after paying for the software.It supported Windows XP with SP2 or higher.
Hope you'll like it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
