Hello Lisa
like yourself I am doing a job that is not stimulating for me. I only found out that I was dyslexic in 2008. Unlike yourself I never accepted that I was stupid thick. I've realised if you do not tell anyone that you are dyslexic or cannot read and write properly. They do not say anything to you they take you for what you are. Your true friends will always support you no matter what. I am very careful who I tell that I am dyslexic or cannot read something there asking me to. Only the people that I can trust get to know me properly. Like you I use NaturallySpeaking Dragon version 11 without this I would not be able to write this. I also use a screen reader so I can listen to what people like yourself have written on the Internet. I use of version called natural reader. This piece of software you can download for free I only use the free version. You say you have a problem in learning to read I had the very same problem I found a program on the Internet the only downside to this program you have to be connected to the Internet to use it and you have to pay for it it doesn't cost a lot and it's a lifetime one-off payment. You can find this on a website called www.ClickNKIDS.com

they do to versions of software are reading version and a spelling version I use both it hasn't cured my spelling it has improved it it certainly improved my reading. I hope you find this useful to you.
All the best.
