Tess,
Besides good advice you taught me a lesson re closing one's mind. My attempts to use my Intuos tablet with Gimp goes back a fair way and it would not work at the time. I also read a statement somewhere that Gimp still needed a driver for that purpose. So my mind shut down on the issue. After reading your email I googled and found the Intuous site has a Linux driver for my GD model Intuos. I was in XP which I recently had to reinstal because of a virus, and lost my Intuos driver in the process, so I downloaded the Windows version first. Then, switching to Linux Red Hat found it now worked there without further download. Because I was in a rush I have not checked out pressure sensitivity yet. Thanks for the advice and a lesson about my own mind set.
My quest for the Dragon substitute now begins launched by your other suggestion.
John.

Wacom's own Linux drivers aren't pressure sensitive? I would think they would be. Linux machines are used pretty widely in the animation and special effects fields, these days, so there absolutely has to be a solution out there for you. Which tablet are you using? Is it a standard Intuos? (I have an Intuos, but I use it only with my Windows laptop, sorry to admit.)
As for dictation programs, I don't know of anything you're going to find that works as well as DNS. If ANYONE would be able to answer your question, it would be the VoiceCoder's list. You can find it here:

Good luck!
