btw. if you have the line "/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0" in your /etc/fstab, you can also simply do "mount /dev/fd0" as any user which has the same effect than using that voice-to-text program. Then you even can unmount the floppy0 via nautilus. As temporary workaround you could make yourself a shortcut that issues that command to mount a floppy.
