RSI-Relief

Jeff’s RSI Stuff is a place where you will find resources for people suffering with RSI (repetitive strain injury) including hardware and software information, book reviews, tips, techniques, prevention and more.

I am limited in the use of my hands due to a repetitive strain injury (RSI). I have devoted a blog to this topic. In it, I will talk about products that I find helpful and those that I don’t find helpful. I will discuss tips and tricks that I found, as well as resources such as books, etc.

One final note. Since I have to use voice recognition software to “type” all the text on his website, please keep that in mind if I ever goof and a word doesn’t make sense. Sometimes, the software misunderstands me, and I miss it. I try to proofread, but every once in awhile one gets by me.

Jeffrey A. Schwartz lives in New Jersey with his wife and two kids. His interests include photography, reading, food, hiking, geocaching and writing.

Keep track of those keystrokes - February 13th, 2007

"One of the things that I find helpful, is being able to keep track how much I use my computer. Simply recording when I started and when I stop a task however is not very useful. This is especially true when I use voice recognition software which does most of […]"

RSI Rescue - February 11th, 2007

"http://www.rsirescue.comThe definitive expert in my opinion. This site is run by Suparna Damany and Jack Bellis, the two authors of, "It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" (see below). This is definitely an excellent place to begin any search related to RSI."

Dragon Naturally Speaking - February 11th, 2007

"I began using voice recognition programs about 10 years ago. Back then, you would spend $1000 or more to get a program that was barely able to work. You would have to talk in a robotic like monotone putting a pause in between each word. Even then you were lucky […]"
