I know absolutely nothing about speech recognition except that such
programs exist. Searching the Internet gives me a ton of choices, but I
can't make out which is good or bad or good for me,

I just want to look into something designed for me, an end user computer
hobbyist, so that when I talk, it will write out the words, like if I want
to send an email to someone I can talk, and transfer the resulting written
out file (hopefully a .txt file) into the body of Outlook Express -
something like that, anyway - cheap. I won't hold out hopes there is
freeware voice recognition software...

Any suggestions?

The "Dragon - NaturalllySpeaking" line of software has several packages at
different price points. http://www.scansoft.com/naturallyspeaking/

I've not tried it but it is widely used and readily available at most
software stores.
