Does anybody use voice software to input names into their genealogy

found a book of a rather large group of family members > 200 pages and the
data isnt available to the same degree in ged downloads from the sites I ve
located so I thought the voice program would save alot of typing. Any
thoughts are welcome.

When you say "book", it sounds as though it would be printed in a
machine-readable font as opposed to handwriting. That would make OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) practical. Scan the pages and run them through OCR
software. That wouldn't enter anything into a genealogy program, but it would
make everything available in text files for copy & paste.
