i keep thinking of this everyday, i work with computer everyday but i found it difficult for me while am typing with keyboard, so i imagine if there could be something like voice command instead of using keyboard like talking to the system to type itself, can there be something like this.

there is a speech recognition already pre-installed in Microsoft windows, you just need to do a reading of a paragraph for it to get used to your voice , tone and accent and then it'll type whatever you will enunciate and not just that , its not just for typing you can use voice commands as a substitute to both the mouse and keyboard controls but if you are efficient enough already then it might slow you down so it cannot be used as an alternative but its kinda fun to use if nothing , and this has been there for a long time and by long time I mean its dates back to the 90s but it wasn't as cheap or efficient as it is now

I used to use Dragon Naturally speaking in place of the keyboard. It was the best of its kind. For one thing it did not take me long to teach it to recognise my accent.
I do not know about the present situation because I am not using any voice recognition software. It is faster using the keyboard and mouse.
Do bear in mind that background noise can affect the performance of any voice recognition software.

Well, to be honest, you're the first person I know to report a similar problem. From what I understand, you do not feel comfortable to enter text using the keyboard, then would you opt for any other method to tipyng. I do not know what to advise, I know that there are speech recognition programs. However in my opinion, you have to get used well yet in QWERTY keyboard use. You only think that this comment, I'm writing with the phone, so I use a 3x4 keypad.

Also, the above software that I told you about is somewhat costly, around $100; however, it will take care of all your typing troubles.

Try getting this software.
It is supposed to recognize the words you say and type them all out for you.

There is a voice command functionality in case of windows or there might be one installed along with your sound driver , if not I think there could be a lot of freewares available that can take voice commands as a substitute to typing . But I think typing is vital and I don't think it can ever be completely substituted , that's why everybody still uses it , so I think instead of looking for a substituting it you should continue practicing it will come to you naturally , and for best results you should use some leaning software like typing tutor or typing master to help you learn touch typing that means typing with all your fingers accurately without having to look at the keyboard.
